At the same time, South Africa experiences extremely unequal income distribution, and its citizens suffer the highest prevalence of HIV in the world. As Archbishop Desmond Tutu has noted, "AIDS is South Africa's new apartheid." In Ancestors and Antiretrovirals, Claire Laurier Decoteau backs up Tutu's assertion with powerful arguments about how this came to pass. Decoteau traces the historical shifts in health policy after apartheid and describes their effects, detailing, in particular, the changing relationship between biomedical and indigenous health care, both at the national and the local level. Decoteau tells this story from the perspective of those living with and dying from AIDS in Johannesburg's squatter camps. At the same time, she exposes the complex and often contradictory ways that the South African government has failed to balance the demands of neoliberal capital with the considerable health needs of its population. 606 $aAIDS (Disease)$xSocial aspects$zSouth Africa 606 $aAIDS (Disease)$xPolitical aspects$zSouth Africa 606 $aHIV-positive persons$zSouth Africa 606 $aHealth services accessibility$zSouth Africa 606 $aSouth Africans$xMedicine 615 0$aAIDS (Disease)$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAIDS (Disease)$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aHIV-positive persons 615 0$aHealth services accessibility 615 0$aSouth Africans$xMedicine. 676 $a362.19697/9200967 700 $aDecoteau$b Claire Laurier$01807063 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965827403321 996 $aAncestors and antiretrovirals$94356580 997 $aUNINA
