at www.luminosoa.org. In this vitally important book, medical
anthropologist Holly Wardlow takes readers through a ten-year
history of the AIDS epidemic in Tari, Papua New Guinea, focusing on
the political and economic factors that make women vulnerable to
HIV and on their experiences with antiretroviral therapy. Alive
with the women's stories about being trafficked to gold mines,
resisting polygynous marriages, and struggling to be perceived as
morally upright, Fencing in AIDS demonstrates that being female
shapes every aspect of the AIDS epidemic. Offering crucial insights
into the anthropologies of mining, ethics, and gender, this is
essential reading for scholars and professionals addressing the
global AIDS crisis today.
