As AIDS spread, the devastating syndrome came to be known simply as ugonjwa huo: \"that disease.\"The AIDS epidemic has forced Africans to reflect upon the meaning of traditional ideas and practices related to sexuality and fertility, and upon modernity and biomedicine. In A Plague of Paradoxes, anthropologist Philip Setel observes Tanzania's Chagga people and their attempts to cope with and understand AIDS-the latest in a series of crises over which they feel they have little, if any, control.Timely and well-researched, A Plague of Paradoxes is an extended case study of the most serious epidemic of the twentieth century and the cultural circumstances out of which it emerged. It is a unique book that brings together anthropology, demography, and epidemiology to explain how a particular community in Africa experiences AIDS.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51938163196192,"sku":"NEW0226748855","price":131.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-plague-of-paradoxes-aids-culture-and-demography-in-northern-tanzania-worlds-of-desire-the-chicago-series-on-sexuality-gender-and-culture-0226748855","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
