Seeing Red: HIV/AIDS and Public Policy in Canada


Add your own review!

Overview

What does it mean to think of HIV/AIDS policy in a critical manner? Seeing Red offers the first critical analysis of HIV/AIDS policy in Canada. Featuring the diverse experiences of people living with HIV, this collection highlights various perspectives from academics, activists, and community workers who look ahead to the new and complex challenges associated with HIV/AIDS and Canadian society. In addition to representing a diversity of voices and perspectives, Seeing Red reflects on historical responses to HIV/AIDS in Canada. Among the specific issues addressed are the over-representation of Indigenous peoples among those living with HIV, the criminalization of HIV, and barriers to health and support services, particularly as experienced by vulnerable and marginalized populations. The editors and contributors seek to show that Canada has been neither uniquely compassionate nor proactive when it comes to supporting those living with HIV/AIDS. Instead, this remains a critical area of public policy, one fraught with challenges as well as possibilities.

Reviews

Seeing Red is a major contribution to the field of HIV policy analysis and critical praxis. The foremost contribution of the editors and their impressive range of contributors is to consider HIV policy in the contemporary Canadian context, through the lens of critical or interpretive social science inquiry. - Michael J. Prince, Lansdowne Professor of Social Policy, University of Victoria Bringing together an eclectic range of voices, Seeing Red's collection of often provocative articles confronts key contemporary issues facing people living with AIDS in our relationships with the neoliberal state, the AIDS service industry and our own unruly bodies. - Tim McCaskell is a founding member of AIDS ACTION NOW! and author of 'Queer Progress: From Homophobia to Homonationalism'
