Plague-Making and the AIDS Epidemic: A Story of Discrimination

By Gina M. Bright

Book Overview

This book explores how the cultural process of making any disease a "plague" results in discrimination against certain groups, as it has for those with AIDS in America. Gina M. Bright here captures the discrimination produced by plague-making in her analysis and her portraits of the people she has cared for with AIDS over the past quarter-century.
