Genocide by Denial: How Profiteering from HIV/AIDS Killed MissionsBy:Peter Mugyenyi This book is about the most devastating disaster since the bleak period of the Black Death catastrophe of 1347 to 1350 in Europe. The mystifying illness broke out simultaneously amidst the most dissimilar communities imaginable. Those initially affected comprised of mainly heterosexual poverty-stricken Africans in Central Africa and the affluent gay communities in the flamboyant cities of California in America. The new disease was named AIDS came close to wiping out an entire generation in Sub Saharan Africa. His power of narrative is immense and his descriptions so elaborate, nothing is left to the imagination. He makes the reader 'see' and 'sense' what actually transpired in the early days of the Aids pandemic and after that, the reader is firmly in his grip and casually or even happily feeding from his hand. Never before has the story of Aids in Uganda and the world at large been captured with such a masterly display of wordcraft. This is a book that can be read for pleasure as a novel, for study as a documentary and for intellectual enrichment as a powerful and informed critique of the political economy of Aids. ~ Gawaya Tegulle Release date:2008 Language:English

Population Politics And Development: From the Policies to the ClinicsBy:Lisa Ann Richey The book analyses the politics of the emergence of population as a ‘problem’ and family planning as a ‘solution’. It looks at how African countries came to embrace typical family planning policies and neoliberal approaches that value limiting a woman’s offspring. It also looks at the way in which African women and men interpret the changing population messages so as to make sense of them as they attempt to raise healthy children within a context of economic uncertainty. Furthermore, the book explores the shifting global population discourse, the integration of HIV/AIDS into reproductive health, and the changing value of children as important directions for the future. It emphasises that the transnational politics that it portrays must be understood if the interpretive gaps between global discourses and local development interventions are to become narrower. The research for the book was conducted in Tanzania, which provides a particularly revealing illustration of the linkages between the global and local. <p> <b>About Author</b> <p> LISA ANN RICHEY holds a Ph.D. in Political Science and is Associate Professor of Development Studies in the Department of Society and Globalisation at Roskilde University, Denmark.

Studying Intimate Matters: Engaging Methodological Challenges in Studies of Gender, Sexuality and Reproductive Health in Sub-Saharan AfricaBy:Barbara Ann Barrett People’s reproductive choices, sexual practices and domestic affairs very often become questions of life and death, suffering or fulfillment. With the increasing complexities of the social dynamics that shape the lives of women and men in Africa, there is a need to refine the procedures and instruments of investigation into the fields of sexuality, gender and reproduction. This book engages the methodological challenges that researchers face when they address highly intimate, taboo-ridden and controversial issues. These issues are always subject to negotiation and contestation, secrecy and revelation. The collection of articles in the book discusses such challenges and suggests how to overcome them in order to develop methods that aptly address intimate and sensitive matters without neglecting informants’ need for privacy and rights to confidentiality.
