Summary
"To make the wounded whole is the first detailed examination of African American AIDS activism in all its depth and breadth. 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"-- Provided by publisher.
