This book critically interrogates emerging interconnections between
religion and biomedicine in Africa in the era of antiretroviral
treatment for AIDS. Highlighting the complex relationships between
religious ideologies, practices and organizations on the one hand,
and biomedical treatment programmes and the scientific languages
and public health institutions that sustain them on the other, this
anthology charts largely uncovered terrain in the social science
study of the Aids epidemic. Spanning different regions of Africa,
the authors offer unique access to issues at the interface of
religion and medical humanitarianism and the manifold therapeutic
traditions, religious practices and moralities as they co-evolve in
situations of AIDS treatment. This book also sheds new light on how
religious spaces are formed in response to the dilemmas people face
with the introduction of life-prolonging treatment programmes.
