It is rare to find such rich ethnography together with such a superb account of how it was assembled. It sensitively considers ethical dilemmas of doing fieldwork with people who are poor, sick and concerned with maintaining control over knowledge about their lives.' -Susan Reynolds Whyte, Professor of Anthropology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark A narrative ethnography about a Ugandan woman and her relatives, this novelistic, fine-grained volume shows how global questions of responsibility and inequity travel in family networks and confront people with decisions about life and death. It is a story of existence under extremely challenging conditions, about belonging and marginalization, about the opacity and ambiguity of social relations, and about growing up in a country haunted by violence and civil war only to be later lifted by optimism and devastated anew by the AIDS epidemic. The story draws on long-term fieldwork and letters from the woman who takes centre stage in the story, while at once providing unique and privileged insight into the ethical challenges of a research method that demands personal involvement that is ultimately withdrawn for scholarly analysis. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Literary Anthropology,$x2946-4226 606 $aEthnology 606 $aMedical anthropology 606 $aEthnology$zAfrica 606 $aCulture 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 606 $aMedical Anthropology 606 $aEthnography 606 $aAfrican Culture 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aMedical anthropology. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aSociocultural Anthropology. 615 24$aMedical Anthropology. 615 24$aEthnography. 615 24$aAfrican Culture. 676 $a967.6104 676 $a300 700 $aMogensen$b Hanne Overgaard$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0897706 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910411922703321 996 $aSecrecy and Responsibility in the Era of an Epidemic$92005619 997 $aUNINA
