Aids Doesn''t Show Its Face - Inequality, Morality, and Social Change in Nigeria

AIDS and Africa are indelibly linked in popular consciousness, but despite widespread awareness of the epidemic, much of the story remains hidden beneath a superficial focus on condoms, sex workers, and antiretrovirals. This book offers a powerful reversal, using AIDS as a lens through which to view Africa.
