by John Lauritsen, Ian Young · 1997

+ Want to read

What really causes AIDS? A virus from Africa? Or our own neglect - or worse - of whole categories of our population? The essays in The AIDS Cult show how a number of difference beliefs, group interests and social forces conspire to make us "sick." With varied backgrounds and different vantage points, the eight contributors offer a fresh, radical view of our society's health crisis, as manifested in the gay community. They challenge us to reexamine our assumptions about AIDS and terminate the mass sacrificial ritual we have been enacting.
