AIDS and Development in Africa: A social science perspective.

AIDS and Development in Africa: a Social Science Perspective is the first book-length treatment of both the impact of AIDS in Africa and an assessment of intervention strategies in varying cultural situations. Counselors,medical and development practitioners, Africanists, and AIDS researchers will find wide analytical coverage of the issues and country case studies related to the contributory factors and development impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa. You will also explore the ability of countries to cope with the pandemic in the context of their different socio-economic circumstances. "Could not be more timely.... Never in any African region has HIV/AIDS received the analytical treatment accorded it in this book ... A natural reader for all researchers, students of social sciences and the health professions, general readers, national governments, and the untiring donor community... This book should find a place in all libraries ... A copy in one's own library is most advisable".
