Description

AIDS has grown in just two decades from a rare disease to one that has already killed millions of men, women, and children worldwide.

To help high school and college students understand the history and current status of AIDS as a social, political, psychological, public health, and cultural phenomenon, this documentary history provides 228 short and highly readable selections from primary and secondary sources of information about AIDS and HIV.

Its scope covers the entire history of the epidemic from its beginnings to early 1997.

The documents, many of which cannot easily be found elsewhere, will help the reader to understand and debate the many perspectives and points of view on this controversial topic. Douglas A. Feldman, one of the country's leading specialists in international and domestic AIDS social research, and Julia Wang Miller, a research consultant, have selected documents and provided explanatory introductions to them to help readers gain a deeper understanding of the sociocultural ramifications of AIDS.

Following a narrative historical overview of the AIDS crisis, the work is organized into nine topical chapters: the history of HIV/AIDS; the impact of the epidemic in the United States and globally; HIV/AIDS within communities and populations; AIDS in the developing world; the human side of AIDS; the politics of AIDS; education and behavioral change; legal and ethical issues; and the future of AIDS.

Each chapter contains an introductory narrative overview of the topic, brief explanatory introduction to each document, and list of suggested readings.

A glossary of terms and an AIDS resource directory of organizations to contact for further information complete the work.

This important documentary history belongs on the shelves of every public school and college and university library.
