Half the people in the United States who are diagnosed with HIV are
now African American. Through the eyes of those on the front lines
of the crisis, journalist Jacob Levenson tells a story of race and
public health that spans fifty years and reveals how AIDS has
become one of the leading killers of young black men and women.
Medical researcher Mindy Fullilove investigates the epidemic's
links to crack cocaine, the Bronx fires, and national health
policy. Desiree Rushing must reconcile her crack addiction and HIV
infection with the fate of her city, family, and the black church.
David deShazo, a white AIDS worker in Alabama, fights to prevent
the American South from becoming the epidemic's new epicenter. And
Mario Cooper, a gay, infected son of the black elite confronts the
boundaries of American race politics in Washington, D.C. Seamlessly
interweaving personal stories with national policy, Levenson
indelibly captures this devastating epidemic and illuminates its
potential to expand our understanding of race in America.
