Media Reviews
?This is more than a record of courage and imagination in the face of adversity. It is above all a clarion call for keeping the flame of activism burning? Jeffrey Weeks, Professor of Sociology, South Bank University, London ?So what?s new about AIDS? A lot. The past wasn?t what we had expected, and its myths distort our perceptions of the present. Across a wide front, these substantial and illuminating essays help us to see fresh ways forward? Alan Sinfield, Professor of English, University of Sussex, UK
