Love in the Time of AIDS: Inequality, Gender, and Rights in South Africa

by Mark Hunter, 2010

“ Beautifully, powerfully, and movingly written. The best analysis I have seen not only of the reasons for the HIV/AIDS pandemic in southern Africa, but of its wider socioeconomic, cultural, and political dynamics.”

– Shula Marks, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.

“One of the most exceptional studies of the response to HIV and AIDS.” – Richard Parker, Columbia University

In some parts of South Africa, more than one in three people are HIV positive. Love in the Time of AIDS explores transformations in notions of gender and intimacy to try to understand the roots of this virulent epidemic.
