{"product_id":"against-death-paperback-softback","title":"Against Death - Paperback \/ softback","description":"\u003cp\u003eRobert Ariss - activist and academic - had a unique vision of HIV\/AIDS. As an HIV seropositive individual for many years before his death on May 9, 1994, he was a full participant in, and critic of, the development of the gay community's response to the HIV epidemic both in Australia and internationally. Though Ariss' life is a definite presence in this study, \u003cem\u003eAgainst Death: The Practice of Living with AIDS\u003c\/em\u003e is not an autobiography. Instead, it is a unique and critical account of a public health crisis, a community's response, and the politics of sexuality. It was in Sydney, Australia, world-famous for its Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, that Robert Ariss lived and worked. It is his vision of that community - of its members infected with and affected by HIV - which is documented in this remarkable anthropological study. Yet the study's implications reach beyond Sydney to all communities living with HIV and AIDS.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45575679279342,"sku":"9789056995645","price":43.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9789056995645.jpg?v=1720956578","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/against-death-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
