- W162218975 abstract "In Botswana, the conflict over circumcision is an important aspect in the examination of health, fertility and the subsequent and potential success of HIV/AIDS prevention programs. Historically, ritual male circumcision, or bogwera, was a traditional practice used to mark the transition from boyhood to manhood and conferred gendered identity and a sense of personhood upon male initiates. The practice was largely abandoned during the 19th and 20th centuries with the advent and influence of Western medical missionaries throughout the region. Citing unhygienic conditions that likely belied a more deep seated fear of the political consequences of organized, Tswana motivated groups of men, missionaries eventually banned the practice of male circumcision altogether. While circumcision is not routinely offered for male children born in district hospitals in Botswana at present, in an ironic reconsideration of health , voluntary adult male circumcision is the latest weapon in the country s arsenal against the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Highly touted as a magic bullet in the fight against the disease, circumcision (both actual and symbolic cutting) now takes center stage in discourse on the ethics of protecting oneself and others while at the same time combatting culturally entrenched beliefs about the meaning of manhood. For anthropologists, who have long documented the transformations of tradition and the meaning of ritual, this new public health concern raises interesting questions about the role of ethnographers engaged in regions of practical and ideological conflicts in the fight against HIV/AIDS and the irony of Western medical approaches to health in historical perspective." @default.
