To the surprise of many, George W. Bush pledged $10 billion to
combat AIDS in developing nations. Noted specialist Susan Hunter
tells the untold story of AIDS in Africa, home to 80 percent of the
40 million people in the world currently infected with HIV. She
weaves together the history of colonialism in Africa, an insider's
take on the reluctance of drug companies to provide cheap
medication and vaccines in poor countries, and personal anecdotes
from the 20 years she spent in Africa working on the AIDS crisis.
Taken together, these strands make it unmistakably clear that a
history of the exploitation of developing nations by the West is
directly responsible for the spread of disease in developing
nations and the AIDS pandemic in Africa. Hunter looks at what
Africans are already doing on the ground level to combat AIDS, and
what the world can and must do to help. Accessibly written and
hard-hitting, "Black Death" brings the staggering statistics to
life and paints for the first time a stunning picture of the most
important political issue today.
