Developed from revised selected papers from the nineteenth Southern African Universities Social Science Conference, AIDS and Development in Africa will be of interest to counselors, medical and development practitioners, Africanists, and AIDS researchers. From this book, you will find wide analytical coverage of the issues and country case studies related to the contributory factors and development impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa. You will also explore the ability of countries to willingly promote and cope with the pandemic in the context of their different economic circumstances.Specifically in AIDS and Development in Africa, you will read about: socioeconomic context of AIDS social scientific explanations of the AIDS pandemic in Africa HIV/AIDS and the status of women in Botswana and Swaziland sexual abuse and HIV/AIDS law and HIV/AIDS orphans of the AIDS pandemic media and the African context of social construction human resource development and training in relation to HIV/AIDS in ZambiaAIDS and Development in Africa uses a multidisciplinary social science perspective in case studies of such countries as Botswana, Swaziland, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Malawi, and Zambia to reveal contributory factors and the developmental impact of HIV/AIDS in Africa.
