Reviews"Dr. Stillwaggon makes a clear and compelling case that poverty reduction must be a central and integrated component of strategies to stem the spread of HIV/AIDS. She documents why addressing the social and biological context in which the epidemic spreads is essential. Sadly, impoverished communities without access to clean water, adequate food, and primary health care experience firsthand the validity of her analysis."--Kathryn Wolford, President, LutheranWorld Relief"Through the dark first quarter century of the AIDS epidemic, the world has been waiting for this brilliant book. It shows in detail how flawed analysis, ineffectual policies, and demeaning stereotypes resulted in a narrow focus on changing individual sexual and drug-using behavior, but failed to incorporate the underlying poverty determinants of malnutrition, other illnesses, and parasitic infections. Millions of HIV infections would have been averted if AIDSinterventions had addressed the issues raised in this book. Millions of AIDS deaths would never have occurred. To redeem the future, policy and practice must extend beyond current fire-fightingmeasures and engage with the underlying causes of the AIDS epidemic through simple and low-cost solutions such as those proposed in this book."--M. J. Kelly, S.J., former Professor of Education, University of Zambia, Lusaka"Imaginative, innovative, integrative, and critical in the best scholarly tradition: an outstanding contribution to debates about HIV/AIDS in poor countries and communities. This book should be read by all working in the field, but above all by those working in prevention."--Tony Barnett, ESRC Professorial Research Fellow, London School of Economics"AIDS and the Ecology of Poverty combines the insights of economics and biology to explain the spread of HIV/AIDS and delivers a telling critique of AIDS policy. Drawing on a wealth of scientific evidence, Stillwaggon demonstrates that HIV/AIDS cannot be stopped without understanding the ecology of poverty. Her message is optimistic, with pragmatic solutions to the health problems that promote the spread of HIV/AIDS."--Ethology Ecology andEvolution, "Imaginative, innovative, integrative, and critical in the best scholarlytradition: an outstanding contribution to debates about HIV/AIDS in poorcountries and communities.
