Description
A witch's curse, an imperialist conspiracy, a racist plot - HIV/AIDS is a catastrophic health crisis with complex cultural dimensions. Explanations of where it comes from, who gets it, and who dies are tied to political agendas, religious beliefs, and the psychology of devastating grief. Witches, Westerners, and HIV is the first in-depth study investigating and comparing beliefs about witchcraft and conspiracies surrounding HIV/AIDS in Africa. Alexander Rödlach examines the nature of these beliefs as well as their importance for HIV/AIDS advocacy and public health programs, explaining why cultural misunderstandings are contributing to the failure of many well-intentioned efforts.
