Reviews

[A] creative and original study...this book offers historians both useful theoretical frameworks for thinking about HIV/AIDS, disability, and the role of mutual care as well as an exciting collection of sources to learn from. -- Social History of Medicine Forget Burial is well worth reading. The most successful parts of this book take the reader inside the kitchens, bedrooms, prisons, art galleries, and hospital waiting rooms where people laughed, fought, loved, and sometimes died together. Fink makes a strong case that the early years of the HIV epidemic provide models for living joyously and communally despite the myriad ways capitalist institutions leave individuals to fend for ourselves. In the process of unburying the stories of historically marginalized people, Fink rightly and eloquently depicts disability as a generative force. -- H-Net Marty Fink's Forget Burial is a vital, much needed contribution to HIV/AIDS scholarship. A wondrous cornucopia of theory, cultural artifacts - fiction, 'zines, video, memoirs, painting, blogs and oral histories - analysis and archival uncovering, Fink's work here is stunning when it makes connections to movements today. Forget Burial is both an act of superb scholarship and of love. --Michael Bronski author of A Queer History of the United States for Young People What histories inter as past, Forget Burial bears forth to account for our present. Extending caregiving as a method, the book examines how early HIV archival narrations of trans and disability activisms resurface in later novels, film/video, and online networks. Whether displaying and eroticizing disabilities, or inventing safer sex, these negotiated HIV interdependencies transform state violence and biomedical stigma into kinships for 'body self-determination' that brandish mutual care and institutional access through our unfolding crises. --Jih-Fei Cheng co-editor of AIDS and the Distribution of Crises
