The most powerful section of the text is an auto-ethnographic account of the Women's AIDS Video Project (WAVE). Through beautifully honest self-reflection and analysis of the group's dynamics and products, Juhasz illustrates the value of community-focused education initiatives and presents powerful evidence for the need to change the one-size-fits-all approach of public HIV/AIDS education policy. . . . [ AIDS TV ] ought to be required reading for all students of the politics of sexuality, reproductive freedom, and community-based education. <br>--Harry C. Denny, Signs

Juhasz s perspective as an academic, activist, and videomaker produces an analysis that combines broad social analysis and a culturally informed feminist politics with the work of producing AIDS video. AIDS TV challenges the standard disciplinary compartmentalizing of AIDS scholarship and service work and brings a welcome critical focus on a body of work often treated as purely educational, but not as art.
