Taking Liberties - Tapa blanda

The number of people affected by AIDS in the UK doubles every 10 months and the number of reported cases is expected to be over 6000 by the end of 1989. This collection of essays by British and American contributors examines the way in which institutions - the media, the law, the medical profession and government - are dealing with AIDS. The authors argue for visionary health practices that transcend differences of class, gender, race and sex. They state that the public must learn from the gay community to develop a response to AIDS that enriches and enhances not only medical but also social approaches to the problem.
