{"product_id":"against-death-robert-ariss-9789056995645","title":"Against Death: The Practice of Living with AIDS","description":"\u003cp\u003eRobert Ariss - activist and academic - had a unique vision of HIV\/AIDS. As an HIV seropositive individual for many years before his death on May 9, 1994, he was a full participant in, and critic of, the development of the gay community's response to the HIV epidemic both in Australia and internationally. Though Ariss' life is a definite presence in this study, \u003cem\u003eAgainst Death: The Practice of Living with AIDS\u003c\/em\u003e is not an autobiography. Instead, it is a unique and critical account of a public health crisis, a community's response, and the politics of sexuality. It was in Sydney, Australia, world-famous for its Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, that Robert Ariss lived and worked. It is his vision of that community - of its members infected with and affected by HIV - which is documented in this remarkable anthropological study. Yet the study's implications reach beyond Sydney to all communities living with HIV and AIDS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Ariss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9056995642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789056995645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.54d","brand":"Robert Ariss","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48066410807551,"sku":"9789056995645","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d5ddd8a1-a2e1-4485-9999-89e932cf8c6a.jpg?v=1768678333","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/against-death-robert-ariss-9789056995645","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
