Synopsis
AIDS and the Distribution of Crises engages with the AIDS pandemic as a network of varied historical, overlapping, and ongoing crises born of global capitalism and colonial, racialized, gendered, and sexual violence. Drawing on their investments in activism, media, anticolonialism, feminism, and queer and trans of color critiques, the scholars, activists, and artists in this volume outline how the neoliberal logic of "crisis" structures how AIDS is aesthetically, institutionally, and politically reproduced and experienced. Among other topics, the authors examine the writing of the history of AIDS; settler colonial narratives and laws impacting risk in Indigenous communities; the early internet regulation of both content and online AIDS activism; the Black gendered and sexual politics of pleasure, desire, and (in)visibility; and how persistent attention to white men has shaped AIDS as intrinsic to multiple, unremarkable crises among people of color and in the Global South.

"An exceptionally exciting book, AIDS and the Distribution of Crises 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 * "AIDS and the Dis tribution of Crises is a curated collection of perspectives and scholarly work on the past, present, and fu ture 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 phy sicians or learners, or are interested in global health should read this compilation. The writ ing is illuminating, engaging and eye-opening." -- Shruti Varadarajan * Family Medicine *
