Abstract

The Bushbuckridge region of South Africa has one of the highest rates of HIV infection in the world. Having first arrived in the area in the early 1990s, the disease spread rapidly, and by 2008 life expectancies had fallen by 12 years for men and 14 years for women. Since 2005, public health facilities have increasingly offered free HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy) treatment, offering a modicum of hope, but uptake and adherence to the therapy has been sporadic and uneven. Drawing on his extensive ethnographic research, carried out in Bushbuckridge over the course of 25 years, Isak Niehaus reveals how the AIDS pandemic has been experienced at the village-level. Most significantly, he shows how local cultural practices and values have shaped responses to the epidemic. For example, while local attitudes towards death and misfortune have contributed to the stigma around AIDS, kinship structures have also facilitated the adoption and care of AIDS orphans. Such practices challenge us to rethink the role played by culture in understanding and treating sickness, with Niehaus showing how an appreciation of local beliefs and customs is essential to any effective strategy of AIDS treatment. Overturning many of the Universalist assumptions on disease prevention, the book is essential reading for practitioners as well as researchers in global health, anthropology, sociology, epidemiology and scholars interested in public health and administration in the sub-Saharan region.

Abstract

This book discusses diseases that affected human and non-human populations in areas stretching from the Red Sea and Egypt to Anatolia, the Balkans, and the Black Sea, in the early modern and modern eras. It tackles various questions of historiography and sources, tests new interdisciplinary methodologies, and asks new questions while revisiting older ones. It contributes to Ottoman studies, the history of medicine, Mediterranean and European history, as well as global studies on the role of epidemics in history.

Abstract

Omdat de jongeren van vandaag de volwassenen en de ouders van morgen zijn, is informatie over erfelijke risico's en genetische tests voor hen van het grootste belang. Aangepaste informatie moet ervoor zorgen dat de jongeren hun weg vinden in de wereld van de genetica en dat zij vrije en geïnformeerde beslissingen kunnen nemen over het gebruik van genetische tests. Om de jongeren op een adequate wijze de nodige basisinformatie te kunnen verschaffen, is het aangewezen voldoende inzicht te verwerven in hun spontane opvattingen en in hun kennis inzake erfelijkheid, erfelijke risico's en de nieuwe genetische technologie.
