Description for Strings Attached
Hardback. Religion and AIDS are transforming African public and private domains. This book questions why so much of the transnational religious engagement has seemed to serve conservative values, and explores connections between Europe/North America and Africa highlighting how these carry both financial resources for HIV/AIDS work and moral values. Editor(s): Beckmann, Nadine; Gusman, Alessandro; Schroff, Catrine. Series: Proceedings of the British Academy. Num Pages: 330 pages, c 16 small figures. BIC Classification: 1H; HRAM2; JFFH2; JHM.
