Revisiting the thinking on vulnerability to HIV and risk of infection, this book provides better understanding by considering the risk of HIV infection alongside notions of personal and collective resilience, dignity and humiliation. The work shows that young people in the urban slum dignify their world and, in doing so, establish priorities and draw on a set of references oftentimes intelligible to them alone. Moreover, humiliation, as an interpersonal event, adds to a sense of vulnerability and lies closely behind choices directly affecting personal health and livelihood. Thus, dignity and humiliation are shown for the first time to have a critical role in health seeking and risky behavior related to HIV, and this is an area in great need of further research. The crucial focus of this work is further emphasized by the rapid growth of urban slums, and high rates of HIV among both slum dwellers and young people, who continue to bear the brunt of the AIDS epidemic, thirty years on. This comprehensive literature review provides a compelling argument that the time is right to further explore the nexus of risk and resilience from a people-centered perspective. Fresh insight is critical to reach the goal of ending AIDS by 2030.

"Ridge Stories is a memoir of a boy born in 1944 and raised in the Driftless Region of Wisconsin on a small dairy farm on Pleasant Ridge. In a collection of interrelated stories of farm, family, neighbors, church, school, and food, Gary Jones gets real about life in rural Wisconsin, from amusing anecdotes about oversized overalls and baths before indoor plumbing, to more serious reflections about the challenges of growing up with a depressed mother to realizing the shortcomings of his homogenous upbringing"--
