In the decades since it was identified in 1981, HIV/AIDS has
devastated African American communities. Members of those
communities mobilized to fight the epidemic and its consequences
from the beginning of the AIDS activist movement. They struggled
not only to overcome the stigma and denial surrounding a "white gay
disease" in Black America, but also to bring resources to
struggling communities that were often dismissed as too "hard to
reach." To Make the Wounded Whole offers the first history of
African American AIDS activism in all of its depth and breadth. Dan
Royles introduces a diverse constellation of activists, including
medical professionals, Black gay intellectuals, church pastors,
Nation of Islam leaders, recovering drug users, and Black feminists
who pursued a wide array of grassroots approaches to slow the
epidemic's spread and address its impacts. Through interlinked
stories from Philadelphia and Atlanta to South Africa and back
again, Royles documents the diverse, creative, and global work of
African American activists in the decades-long battle against
HIV/AIDS.
