In other words, Boyd is studying the critical player in public health provision in Uganda. Boyd’s book seems particularly relevant for the newly created LGBT Rapid Response Fund, as it includes a chapter about Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Bill.” * Washington Post online *\u003cbr\u003e“[A] robust contribution to AIDS discourse in Africa.” * African Studies Quarterly *\u003cbr\u003e“This book, in general, is a very fine analysis of Ugandan attitudes to sexual practice, in the light of the AIDS prevention campaign. It is thorough and illuminating. … The book is superb as a sociological\/anthropological account of born-again Christianity. … I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and highly recommend it for its penetrating analysis and insight.” * Journal of Church and State *\u003cbr\u003e“Boyd places Christian concerns about HIV\/AIDS transmission and same-sex unions in Uganda in an ethnographic and historical perspective that will richly enhance discussions of rights and accountability.”","brand":"Ohio University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405998760279,"sku":"9780821421703","price":25.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780821421703.jpg?v=1730494188","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/preaching-prevention-9780821421703","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
