Beskrivning
A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org.In this vitally important 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 with 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. Offering crucial insights into the anthropologies of mining, ethics, and gender, this is essential reading for scholars and professionals addressing the global AIDS crisis today.

Recensioner i media
"Ethnographically compelling, with each chapter focused on themes of relevance to Pacific scholars and social scientists more broadly, this monograph will be a central text in medical anthropology, critical public health and fields concerned with Pacific Islands. It should be widely read at all levels."
