註釋This book explores the role of the Christian church, broadly and diversely defined as both institutions and communities of believers (although the focus of the analysis is on institutional behaviors), in the politics of HIV/AIDS in Africa. The author creates a typology of church AIDS actions--no response; early, narrow response; early, broad response; late, narrow response; and late, broad response--and seeks explanations for where churches fall within this typology in terms of institutional resources, organizational structures, relations with the state, and global networks.
