Harper C.: Five Book Friday: Uncanny Graphic Novels (0 comment)
We are in the thick of winter here in the Pacific Northwest, which means it's dark, damp, and chilly. Rather than escaping to stories with warmer, brighter climates, I personally want nothing more than to dive deep into gothic and uncanny fiction as the wind rattles my windows at night...

Publisher Comments

“Love, Money, and HIV offers a compelling account of the AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa. Mojola advances a fascinating sociological understanding of the transmission of this disease and makes a forceful case that to stem the epidemic, public policy should focus on [young women], using a combination of biomedical, behavioral, social, and ecological approaches. The work humanizes the victims of the AIDS epidemic and explains why the current intervention strategies have not been effective at stopping the disease.”

—Christine Williams, Professor of Sociology, University of Texas at Austin

“Mojola weaves an in-depth story of young Kenyan women caught between the desire to become beautiful, modern women; the need for consumer goods to demonstrate their transformations; and gendered social structures that limit their own sources of income. This enlightening book is a necessary read for academics, policymakers, and anyone interested in uncovering the complexities of HIV/AIDS in Africa.”

—Nancy Luke, Associate Professor of Sociology and Demography, Pennsylvania State University

Synopsis

How do modern women in developing countries experience sexuality and love? Drawing on a rich array of interview, ethnographic, and survey data from her native country of Kenya, Sanyu A. Mojola examines how young African women, who suffer disproportionate rates of HIV infection compared to young African men, navigate their relationships, schooling, employment, and finances in the context of economic inequality and a devastating HIV epidemic. Writing from a unique outsider-insider perspective, Mojola argues that the entanglement of love, money, and the transformation of girls into “consuming women” lies at the heart of womens coming-of-age and health crises. At once engaging and compassionate, this text is an incisive analysis of gender, sexuality, and health in Africa.

About the Author

Sanyu A. Mojola is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

I want to thank DR OHOVBE for helping me get cured of HIV/AIDS diseases, I never believe that I will be ever cured of this deadly disease for like 5 years Now I have been suffering from HIV/AIDS I really surfer a lot to the point that some of my friends regret me, This really wanted to make me end my life, I went to lot of hospitals for treatment but sadly we never find any cure but just drugs tablet that will keep me moving. I search the Internet for a cure, Go through lot of research and comment, But luckily I met a post about a man who was cured by DR OHOVBE so I decided to give it a try to see if he could save my life Luckily he respond to my mail and I told him all my story and he prepare for me herbal medicine for me and I took it for two weeks and I was cured by him. I cannot stop thanking him for what he has done, Am really excited to share this story and I have no shame in it, if you are into similar problem you can contact him via email: [email protected] OR WhatsApp him: +16785625698
