520    "The HIV epidemic remains one of the most challenging of 
       modern times, despite the enormous promise of anti-
       retroviral treatment. This timely book takes a critical 
       look at HIV/AIDS in the context of South Africa, the 
       country with the largest HIV epidemic in the world. 
       Drawing on feminist science and technology studies and a 
       close analysis of a range of textual sources, Politics in 
       the Making of HIV/AIDS in South Africa tracks how the 
       disease has been formed and transformed through political 
       struggles. It illuminates the ways these struggles have 
       also generated new selves for those living with HIV. In 
       conducting this enquiry, the book addresses pressing 
       questions about the politics of public health, the ethics 
       of biological citizenship, and agency and the making of 
       neoliberal subjects. It should appeal to scholars and 
       students with interests in the sociology of health and 
       medicine, the body in society, science and technology 
       studies, and public health"--|cProvided by publisher
