{"product_id":"hiv-is-gods-blessing-jarrett-zigon-9780520267640","title":"HIV Is God's Blessing: Rehabilitating Morality in Neoliberal Russia","description":"This provocative study examines the role of today's Russian Orthodox Church in the treatment of HIV\/AIDS. Russia has one of the fastest-growing rates of HIV infection in the world--80 percent from intravenous drug use--and the Church remains its only resource for fighting these diseases. Jarrett Zigon takes the reader into a Church-run treatment center where, along with self-transformational and religious approaches, he explores broader anthropological questions--of morality, ethics, what constitutes a \"normal\" life, and who defines it as such. Zigon argues that this rare Russian partnership between sacred and political power carries unintended consequences: even as the Church condemns the influence of globalization as the root of the problem it seeks to combat, its programs are cultivating citizen-subjects ready for self-governance and responsibility, and better attuned to a world the Church ultimately opposes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jarrett Zigon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520267648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520267640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Jarrett Zigon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45478336233727,"sku":"9780520267640","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6c5caefe-b8a3-409d-b0d7-ba03425e3df8.jpg?v=1715934955","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hiv-is-gods-blessing-jarrett-zigon-9780520267640","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
