Description

A sequel, or extended afterthought in the form of an essay, to Susan Sontag's book "Illness as Metaphor", in the light of AIDS. The author analyzes the way society has viewed AIDS, as divine retribution, plague or total war, and dispels racist ideas that AIDS originates from deepest Africa.
