Exile within Exiles
Herbert Daniel was a significant and complex figure in Brazilian leftist revolutionary politics and social activism from the mid-1960s until his death in 1992. As a medical student, he joined a revolutionary guerrilla organization but was forced to conceal his sexual identity from his comrades, a situation Daniel described as internal exile. After a government crackdown, he spent much of the 1970s in Europe, where his political self-education continued. He returned to Brazil in 1981, becoming engaged in electoral politics and social activism to champion gay rights, feminism, and environmental justice, achieving global recognition for fighting discrimination against those with HIV/AIDS. In Ex...
Uma História Global e Brasileira da Aids, 1986-2021
Em Uma História Global e Brasileira da Aids, 1986-2021, Marcos Cueto e Gabriel Lopes oferecem aos seus leitores uma espécie de aula magistral sobre como escrever a história da saúde coletiva na era global. Eles capturam a natureza interativa do sistema global contemporâneo, que certamente é caracterizado por muitas formas de desigualdade combinadas em configurações frequentemente neocoloniais. Eles também nos mostram que existe espaço para trocas bidirecionais e, mesmo no contexto da hegemonia neocolonial, é possível validar perspectivas alternativas de forma importante. Eles demonstram claramente que o tempo da análise histórica atrelada somente a unidades delimitadas, sejam c...
A doença e o tempo
Neste novo livro, o ensaísta e filósofo Eduardo Jardim parte da ideia de que toda experiência, para ter seu acabamento, precisa ser narrada. Partindo desse pressuposto, o autor investiga a viagem do vírus HIV desde seu surgimento, na África - há quase cem anos -, até sua chegada ao Brasil, acompanhando suas repercussões em todo o mundo. Como Eduardo observa, "muito cedo, escritores, cineastas e artistas se interessaram pela aids, tomando-a como tema ou como inspiração." Assim, nesse percurso, A doença e o tempo analisa as manifestações sociais, políticas e culturais desencadeadas pelo surgimento da doença, examinando ainda o estigma e a discriminação que chegaram juntamente ...
Men Who Sell Sex
Men Who Sell Sex is the first comprehensive international account of male prostitution and AIDS. While much is known about female prostitution and sex work, relatively little is known about men who sell sex - either to women or other men. This book brings together an authoritative collection of essays from different countries and examines sexual behaviour, the reasons men sell sex, the meanings involved, and implications for HIV prevention. The authors are all experts in their fields and individual chapters offer a compelling description of the reasons men sell sex and the pleasures and risks involved.
Conexões Brasil-Argentina: pontes e intercâmbios a partir da História
Estão aqui reunidos trabalhos históricos que partem de comparações ou conexões entre Brasil e Argentina, de modo a relacionar países com trajetórias distintas e, ao mesmo tempo, semelhantes, que se cruzam ao longo do tempo. A coletânea é composta por análises que vão desde o período colonial até o século XXI e que tratam de temas diversos, como religião, escravidão, gênero, intelectualidade, diplomacia, guerras, sociabilidades científicas e governos ditatoriais. Partimos de experiências de pesquisas conjuntas construídas há quase duas décadas e vislumbramos a consolidação deste trabalho, bem como a ampliação futura destas redes. Esta obra trata-se, portanto, de uma ...
AIDS in the World
No single book tracks, on an annual basis, the evolution of the pandemic, its effects, and the worldwide response. To fill this gap, Jonathan Mann, founding director of the World Health Organization's Global Program on AIDS, has assembled a team of experts to produce this collection of information, data, and thinking about AIDS. 100 illustrations.
The Routledge Handbook of the Peoples and Places of Ancient Western Asia
This 500,000 word reference work provides the most comprehensive general treatment available of the peoples and places of the regions commonly referred to as the ancient Near and Middle East – extending from the Aegean coast of Turkey in the west to the Indus river in the east.

VIVRE AVEC LE SIDA EN PHASE AVANCEE
La personne atteinte du sida doit faire un effort constant pour lutter contre l'ingérence du virus dans son organisme et assurer l'intégrité et la permanence de son identité, de façon à ce qu'elle ne soit pas réduite aux propriétés morales attachées à cette maladie. Cet ouvrage constitue une importante contribution d'histoire orale à une époque où la médecine était impuissante pour contrôler le sida.
AIDS in the World II
AIDS in the World, Vol. 1, published in 1992, was the first full analysis of mankind's global confrontation with this disease. The AIDS scene, however, has been changing so rapidly that the need for a second volume was felt much earlier than expected. In AIDS in the World II, the authors extend the international comparisons from 38 countries to the entire world, and show that the AIDS pandemic has become increasingly fragmented within the world population. They present data that takes the discussion beyond the current understanding of the vulnerability of nations and communities to the worldwide spread of HIV, engaging in a detailed exploration of the social strategies that have enabled indi...
