註釋Is a plea for a more respectful approach to dealing with the social and cultural traditions of Africans in the ongoing battle against AIDS. The renowned German sociologist and author Reimer Gronemeyer spent four years carrying out numerous interviews with African AIDS victims and their families, as well as experts in the field. Their reports and observations on living with the disease provide irrefutable evidence to support the author's ar-guments that the destruction of traditional African living environments - the family, subsistent lifestyle, social values - has been the decisive requirement for the rapid spread of the virus. AIDS in Africa is a disaster born of moderni-sation. A provocative and emotive book.
