« 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.

"Peter McGough--half of the team of McDermott & McGough, artists known for their painting, photography, sculpture and film--writes about the trauma of growing up gay in 1950s suburbia; about the East Village art scene of the 1980s when he knew Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons and Julian Schnabel; and about his meeting David McDermott who would profoundly change his life by insisting they dress, live, and work like men in the Victorian era. From then on, wherever they lived--in New York City or in upstate New York--they lived without electricity or any other modern conveniences. Their art, called "Time Maps" was concerned with sexuality, bigotry, and AIDS, and their photography--using cyanotypes and platinum plates--had great success at major galleries and museums around the world. Eventually, however, McDermott's incendiary temper and profligate spending would bankrupt them: McDermott would move to Dublin, and McGough, trying to work in New York, would discover that he had AIDS. I've Seen the Future and I'm Not Going is a poignant, often devastating, often humorous, entirely singular memoir"--
