The essays in \u003ci\u003eSecond Chances\u003c\/i\u003e draw on personal accounts and a broad knowledge of Ugandan culture and history to explore antiretroviral therapy from the perspective of those people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The stories are compelling, and the analytical chapters do a good job connecting contemporary developments with the existing anthropology of HIV\/AIDS…. Recommended.” -- M. M. Heaton * Choice *\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eSecond Chances\u003c\/i\u003e is recommended reading for anyone interested in the experiences of people with HIV\/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. This is also a good book for anyone who is thinking about health systems. One of Whyte’s points that I found particularly important is that people do not simply access treatment, but achieve it.” -- Anita Chary * Global Health Hub *\u003cbr\u003e“This is a unique study because it focuses on individuals and how disease and health care affects them. It provides a glimpse at a culture that is rarely covered, as well. Academic libraries supporting social sciences and health sciences programs will want to add this fascinating look at HIV\/AIDS from a singular perspective to their collections.\"  -- Barbara Bibel * Library Journal *\u003cbr\u003e“Readers familiar with the work of Susan Reynolds Whyte and her colleagues will not be disappointed in this compelling book. In the end, the lesson of \u003ci\u003eSecond Chances\u003c\/i\u003e is that reliance on ‘contingent sociality’ means that not everyone who needs ARTs can get them. The chance for a second chance, therefore, is inherently fragile and unequal. Reynolds Whyte and colleagues offer no solutions, but the moving stories of survival and striving for both a living and a life remind us of the work that remains” -- Janet W. McGrath * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eSecond Chances\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent source of health narratives about negotiating HIV status in Uganda. \u003ci\u003eSecond Chances\u003c\/i\u003e will naturally interest anthropologists of East Africa, HIV and biosociality.\" -- Jason Johnson Peretz * Somatosphere *\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eSecond Chances\u003c\/i\u003e offers a rigorous and vivid look at the first generation of Ugandans with AIDS to have relatively wide access to antiretroviral therapy . . . . The book is a compelling chronicle of the terms of this 'life sentence'.\" -- Tyler Zoanni * Social Anthropology *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolygraphy        vii   Introduction.
