AIDS activists are often romanticized as extremely noble and
selfless. However, the relationships among HIV support group
members highlighted in Landscapes of Activism are hardly utopian or
ideal. At first, the group has everything it needs, a thriving
membership, and support from major donors. Soon, the group
undergoes an identity crisis over money and power, eventually
fading from the scene. As government and development institutions
embraced activist demands—decentralizing AIDS care through
policies of health systems strengthening—civil society was
increasingly rendered obsolete. Charting this transition—from
subjects, to citizens, and back again—reveals the inefficacy of
protest, and the importance of community resilience. The product of
in-depth ethnography and focused anthropological inquiry, this is
the first book on AIDS activists in Mozambique. AIDS activism’s
strange decline in southern Africa, rather than a reflection of
citizen apathy, is the direct result of targeted state and donor
intervention.
