In the delta region of Nigeria, women seeking HIV care face a
plethora of deeply gendered inequalities. As a result, HIV-positive
women are often unable to use the treatment schemes that are
seemingly available to them. Pathologies of Patriarchy brings
together a geographic analysis of gendered inequalities with
practical implementation questions concerning the limits of current
global health programming. This book is an experiential analysis of
HIV treatment programs that includes first-hand accounts of how
female patients explain and cope with the poor access to and the
inconsistencies in the delivery of HIV service care that
complicates their adherence to treatment, and the complex power
relations they navigate daily. Eloho Ese Basikoro also addresses
the failures of policy-makers who talk about gender mainstreaming
but fail to deliver sustainable health services for disenfranchised
women suffering from the social stigma and alienation associated
with seropositivity. This inter-regional study is of disciplinary
and interdisciplinary interest to a wide variety of scholars and
policy-makers, whether they are researching gendered inequality
from a geographical, anthropological or global health perspective,
or interested in broader concerns about development and inequality
in sub-Saharan Africa.
