Summary: "To make the wounded whole is the first detailed examination of African American AIDS activism in all its depth and breadth. A diverse constellation of activists, including medical professionals, black gay intellectuals, hairdressers, church pastors, Nation of Islam leaders, and recovering drug users, pursued a wide array of grassroots approaches in hopes of slowing the spread of the disease in black communities. In a set of interlinked stories that travel from Philadelphia to Atlanta to South Africa and back again, Royles shows that African American AIDS activists made room for queer sexuality within prevailing ideas about black identity at the same time that they forged links to other parts of the African diasporic world. Drawing on extensive archival research from around the country along with original oral histories, To make the wounded whole documents the diverse, creative, and at times global work of African American activists in the decades-long [fight] against HIV/AIDS"--Provided by publisher

内容説明・目次

内容説明

In the decades since it was identified in 1981, HIV/AIDS has devastated African American communities. Members of those communities mobilized to fight the epidemic and its consequences from the beginning of the AIDS activist movement. They struggled not only to overcome the stigma and denial surrounding a "white gay disease" in Black America, but also to bring resources to struggling communities that were often dismissed as too "hard to reach." To Make the Wounded Whole offers the first history of African American AIDS activism in all of its depth and breadth. Dan Royles introduces a diverse constellation of activists, including medical professionals, Black gay intellectuals, church pastors, Nation of Islam leaders, recovering drug users, and Black feminists who pursued a wide array of grassroots approaches to slow the epidemic's spread and address its impacts. Through interlinked stories from Philadelphia and Atlanta to South Africa and back again, Royles documents the diverse, creative, and global work of African American activists in the decades-long battle against HIV/AIDS.
