Description

Explore the complex relationship between government policy and global health in Jeremy Youde's study, AIDS, South Africa, and the Politics of Knowledge. Part of the Routledge Global Health Series, this book provides an in-depth look at how the South African government interacted with the international AIDS control regime. The text examines the rise of an epistemic community alongside a counter-epistemic community. These groups offered different understandings of the AIDS epidemic and suggested radically different policy prescriptions. Readers will learn how specific individuals influenced South African AIDS policies, even when those choices faced universal condemnation from the international scientific community. This academic work is essential for students and professionals interested in medical anthropology, sociology, and global health politics. It offers a detailed perspective on how knowledge is produced and contested during a public health crisis.
