DISSONANCE
AIDS, AFRICA, AND RACISM

The book AIDS, AFRICA, & RACISM

UPDATE: Drug companies, backed by the World Bank and Rockefeller money, are preparing a publicity onslaught to target Africans as human guinea pigs in a hugely profitable and malicious scam at the 7th international "AIDS in Africa" conference during the week of December 8-15th. Read the background information below and find out more about the conference in DISS/cuss, the Ways forum for Dissonance. News Flash and activist alert for Dec. 8, 1997. If you haven't already, be sure to link to all the Dissonance resources on the global context of AIDS, including Rosalind Chirimuuta-Harrison's "Is AIDS African?" and Richard Rath's hypertext "Horton Hears the WHO."

In their book AIDS, Africa and Racism, Richard and Rosalind Chirimuuta, challenge the received wisdom on AIDS in Africa by unmasking the racist preconceptions that have guided the collection of scientific data. It is a timely response to the alleged African origins of AIDS. The authors have added a substantial postscript for this edition. In it they point out that even though several Western researchers have withdrawn some of their evidence and specific claims, they still attempt to substantiate racist hypotheses.
