AIDS, Intimacy and Care in Rural KwaZulu-Natal: A Kinship of Bones: Care & Welfare

Autor Patricia C. Henderson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 dec 2011
Patricia C. Henderson, a South African anthropologist, resided from March 2003 to February 2006 in Okhahlamba, a municipality in the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal. In this book, she recounts her experience among this rural population who lived under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. Spanning a period that starts before antiretrovirals were readily available to a time when these treatments were finally used to care for the ill, this powerful account of a terrible disease and the communities which it affects focuses on the ties between suffering and kinship in South Africa.
