“An exceptionally exciting book, <i>AIDS and the Distribution of Crises</i> is unlike any other collection on HIV/AIDS I have read. This volume makes critically important interventions into our past, present, and future imaginations of HIV/AIDS. It should be widely read and taught.” - Jennifer Brier, author of (Infectious Ideas: U.S. Political Responses to the AIDS Crisis) “This volume reshapes our critical orientation by insisting on a conception of the AIDS pandemic not as a rarefied historical period or a particular epidemiological tragedy but rather as a space for opening up theoretical and conceptual inquires into the violent consequences caused by the ideological deployment and dissemination of ‘crisis.’ A capacious and compelling rendering of the AIDS pandemic, it offers a potent dwelling space for critical reflection and a powerful provocation into thinking otherwise about AIDS and the world at large.” - Martin F. Manalansan IV, author of (Global Divas: Filipino Gay Men in the Diaspora) “<i>AIDS and the Distribution of Crises </i>is a curated collection of perspectives and scholarly work on the past, present, and future of the global AIDS crises. . . . Any of us in the health care field who interact with patients, work in health policy, teach or work with future physicians or learners, or are interested in global health should read this compilation. The writing is illuminating, engaging and eye-opening.” - Shruti Varadarajan (Family Medicine)
