« Savoirs créoles : leçons du sida pour l'histoire de Montréal propose un regard critique sur l'histoire de Montréal à travers l'épidémie du sida au cours des années 1980. Viviane Namaste étudie les différentes formes de lutte de la communauté haïtienne, faussement associée au sida et par conséquent victime de discrimination dans tous les domaines de la vie publique (logement, éducation, emploi, santé. . .). A partir d'une documentation originale, de recherches dans les journaux, radios, archives et d'entrevues, Savoirs créoles montre le lien établi par les institutions publiques entre les Haïtiens-ne-s et la maladie. Les membres de la communauté, ayant vécu cet amalgame tel un désastre, ont déployé des modèles de mobilisation exemplaires et des savoirs enracinés dans leur vécu, leur langue et leur culture. L'auteure souligne l'immense travail des infirmières haïtiennes qui se retrouvaient au premier plan de la lutte. Analysant cette crise de santé publique, Namaste pose la question : comment et pourquoi certaines réalités sont effacées dans l'histoire de la ville de Montréal? »--Page 4 de la couverture.

Expanding on the 1989 National Research Council volume AIDS, Sexual Behavior, and Intravenous Drug Use, this book reports on changing patterns in the distribution of cases and the results of intervention efforts under way. It focuses on two important subpopulations that are becoming more and more at risk: adolescents and women. The committee also reviews strategies to protect blood supplies and to improve the quality of surveys used in AIDS research. AIDS: The Second Decade updates trends in AIDS cases and HIV infection among the homosexual community, intravenous drug users, women, minorities, and other groups; presents an overview of a wide range of behavioral intervention strategies directed at specific groups; discusses discrimination against people with AIDS and HIV infection; and presents available data on the proportion of teenagers engaging in the behaviors that can transmit the virus and on female prostitutes and HIV infection.
