It does so through a series of ethnographic encounters, from kings to condoms, which expose the ways in which biomedical understanding of the virus have been rejected by - and incorporated into - local understandings of health, illness, sex and death. Through the songs of female initiation, AIDS education and wandering minstrels, the book argues that music is central to understanding how AIDS interventions operate. This book elucidates a hidden world of meaning in which people sing about what they cannot talk about, where educators are blamed for spreading the virus, and in which condoms are often thought to cause AIDS. The policy implications are clear: African worldviews must be taken seriously if AIDS interventions in Africa are to become successful. 410 0$aInternational African library ;$v42. 517 3 $aAIDS, Politics, & Music in South Africa 606 $aHIV infections$zSouth Africa$xPrevention 606 $aHIV infections$xSocial aspects$zSouth Africa 606 $aMusic$zSouth Africa 615 0$aHIV infections$xPrevention. 615 0$aHIV infections$xSocial aspects 615 0$aMusic 676 $a362.196/97920096 700 $aMcNeill$b Fraser G.$f1977-$01057058 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457505403321 996 $aAIDS, politics, and music in South Africa$92491912 997 $aUNINA
