AIDS and Accusation - Haiti and the Geography of Blame, Updated with a New Preface (Paperback, 2 Revised Edition)

"Praise for the first edition:
"Farmer's sensitive exploration of the lives and deaths of the people at [the village of] Do Kay give his study a distinctly human face and an emotional edge.... The book is at the same time fiercely personal and coldly objective. The result is both moving and illuminating."-- "Science
"Farmer renders a richly layered and nuanced ethnographic portrait."-- "Harvard Educational Review
"This superbly crafted volume is dedicated to explaining and refuting a popular U.S. belief that AIDS came to the United States from Haiti. . . . Farmer has made an outstanding scholarly contribution to the 'anthropology of suffering, ' the assessment of illness as perceived and experienced by a patient embedded in an interlocking fabric of culture and history."-- "Medical Anthropology Quarterly
