Product Information
This book assesses the AIDS service industry that has emerged since the mid-1980s. Informed by deconstruction and current critical theory, Patton analyzes the discourses of AIDS and how they shape, control and delay public policy that determines health strategies dealing with the epidemic. The book includes a committed and passionate critique of the use of scientific knowledge in the face of what is a predominant cultural metaphor of the late 20th century. This book should be of interest to students of cultural studies and professionals involved in the treatment of AIDS.Product Identifiers
