"Educator Patti Lather and psychologist Chris Smithies observed and chronicled support groups for women diagnosed with HIV. Whether black, Latina, poor, or middle class, the women in these groups share the common bond of living with HIV/AIDS, and they describe how it affects their lives in terms full of practical reality and moving poignancy, as they fight the disease, accept, reflect, live and die with and in it."--BOOK JACKET. "Finally, the reader is provided with statistics and fact boxes that put these women's words in context for a fuller understanding of the epidemic of HIV/AIDS as it affects its fastest growing population. In an epilogue, Lather and Smithies revisit these women in 1995 and 1996, not only to once again chronicle their lives with HIV/AIDS, but to visit the friends they made and to mourn the friends they have lost."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description

Lather & Smithies use different layers or sources of data: including information about HIV/AIDS, researcher reflections, women’s stories and angel inter texts to explore the lives of women living with HIV / AIDS in America. The angel inter texts they suggest provide a detour and are “intended both as a breathing space from the women’s stories and a place to bring snapshots from poetry, fiction, sociology, history, art and philosophy together to bear on understanding the work of living with HIV/AIDS”
