Recenzje

'Illustrating the kinds of insights that can be gleaned only from long, painstaking, meticulous participant observations, Reece provides an intimate portrait of kin and community building during the crisis of the southern African AIDS pandemic … The story is compelling, and the writing is clear and passionate, though aimed at specialized readers … Highly recommended.'
