A diverse constellation of activists, including medical professionals, black gay intellectuals, hairdressers, church pastors, Nation of Islam leaders, and recovering drug users, pursued a wide array of grassroots approaches in hopes of slowing the spread of the disease in black communities. In a set of interlinked stories that travel from Philadelphia to Atlanta to South Africa and back again, Royles shows that African American AIDS activists made room for queer sexuality within prevailing ideas about black identity at the same time that they forged links to other parts of the African diasporic world. Drawing on extensive archival research from around the country along with original oral histories, To make the wounded whole documents the diverse, creative, and at times global work of African American activists in the decades-long [fight] against HIV/AIDS"-- 1900-1999 fast AIDS (Disease) United States History 20th century AIDS activists United States African Americans Diseases African Americans Political activity African Americans Diseases fast AIDS activists fast AIDS (Disease) fast United States fast History fast Royles Dan author BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 acq-record IDSBB B583 B583 MAG IMG IDSBB 490 0- Justice, power and politics IDSBB 700 1- Royles Dan author SWISSBIB 592374823
