Fencing In Aids by Holly Wardlow, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

In this vitally important new book, medical anthropologist Holly Wardlow takes readers through a ten-year history of the AIDS epidemic in Tari, Papua New Guinea, focusing on the political and economic factors that make women vulnerable to HIV and on their experiences of being on antiretroviral therapy. Alive with the women’s stories about being trafficked to gold mines, resisting polygynous marriages, and struggling to be perceived as morally upright, Fencing in AIDS demonstrates that being female shapes every aspect of the AIDS epidemic. Making crucial interventions into the anthropologies of mining, ethics, and gender, this is essential reading for scholars and professionals addressing global AIDS crises today. | Fencing In Aids by Holly Wardlow, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
