A narrative ethnography about a Ugandan woman and her relatives,
this novelistic, fine-grained volume shows how global questions of
responsibility and inequity travel in family networks and confront
people with decisions about life and death. It is a story of
existence under extremely challenging conditions, about belonging
and marginalization, about the opacity and ambiguity of social
relations, and about growing up in a country haunted by violence
and civil war only to be later lifted by optimism and devastated
anew by the AIDS epidemic. The story draws on long-term fieldwork
and letters from the woman who takes centre stage in the story,
while at once providing unique and privileged insight into the
ethical challenges of a research method that demands personal
involvement that is ultimately withdrawn for scholarly analysis.
