The HIV epidemic remains one of the most challenging of modern
times, despite the enormous promise of anti-retroviral treatment.
This timely book takes a critical look at HIV/AIDS in the context
of South Africa, the country with the largest HIV epidemic in the
world. Drawing on feminist science and technology studies and a
close analysis of a range of textual sources, Politics in the
Making of HIV/AIDS in South Africa tracks how the disease has been
formed and transformed through political struggles. It illuminates
the ways these struggles have also generated new selves for those
living with HIV. In conducting this enquiry, the book addresses
pressing questions about the politics of public health, the ethics
of biological citizenship, and agency and the making of neoliberal
subjects. It should appeal to scholars and students with interests
in the sociology of health and medicine, the body in society,
science and technology studies, and public health.
