Over the past twenty years, international NGOs and charities have devoted immense attention to the millions of African children orphaned by the disease. But in Crying for Our Elders, anthropologist Kristen E. Cheney argues that these humanitarian groups have misread the 'orphan crisis'. She explains how the global humanitarian focus on orphanhood often elides the social and political circumstances that actually present the greatest adversity to vulnerable children-in effect deepening the crisis and thereby affecting children's lives as irrevocably as HIV/AIDS itself. Through ethnographic fieldwork and collaborative research with children in Uganda, Cheney traces how the "best interest" principle that governs children's' rights can stigmatize orphans and leave children in the post-antiretroviral era even more vulnerable to exploitation. She details the dramatic effects this has on traditional family support and child protection and stresses child empowerment over pity. Crying for Our Elders advances current discussions on humanitarianism, children's studies, orphanhood, and kinship. By exploring the unique experience of AIDS orphanhood through the eyes of children, caregivers, and policymakers, Cheney shows that despite the extreme challenges of growing up in the era of HIV/AIDS, the post-ARV generation still holds out hope for the future. 606 $aOrphans$zUganda$xSocial conditions 606 $aChildren of AIDS patients$zUganda$xSocial conditions 606 $aPoor children$zUganda$xSocial conditions 606 $aChild welfare$zUganda 606 $aAIDS (Disease)$xSocial aspects$zUganda 610 $aAIDS. 610 $aAfrica. 610 $aHIV. 610 $aOVC. 610 $achildren's rights. 610 $achildren. 610 $ahumanitarianism. 610 $akinship. 610 $aorphans and vulnerable children. 610 $apoverty. 610 $ayouth participatory research. 615 0$aOrphans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aChildren of AIDS patients$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aPoor children$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aChild welfare 615 0$aAIDS (Disease)$xSocial aspects 676 $a305.23086/945 686 $aLC 56547$2rvk 700 $aCheney$b Kristen E., $0890534 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162715703321 996 $aCrying for Our Elders$91989263 997 $aUNINA
