• W2618550762 abstract "Lydia Boyd. 2015. Preaching Prevention: Born-Again Christianity and the Moral Politics of AIDS in Uganda. Athens: Ohio University Press. 237 pp. Lydia Boyd's robust contribution to AIDS discourse in Africa, particularly in Uganda where she undertook her study through an anthropological approach, provides a set of critical tensions to the overall understanding of the intricate interface between the pandemic, cultures, religions, politics, traditions, and foreign policies. Although the book harps on abstinence and faithfulness as veritable measures of preventing the spread of AIDS in a country that was highly infested, the cultural cum traditional perception of them and the foreign dimension that obviously promoted them, created a tension of how best to understand these measures. Within the frames of this tension is how the African personhood is defined and distinguished both from within and outside, a tension that tends to superiorize the one and inferiorize the other; and also breaks down, if it ever exists, the equality of humans. The tensions could be felt between Christianity and African religious traditions and beliefs occasioned by change and dynamism in society; western culture and African culture; African Christianity and African traditional religious traditions; African Christianity and African culture in Africa; men's and women's authority in changing family settings; concept and appreciation of love in Uganda in precolonial and postcolonial eras; and, finally, African Christians and Western Christians, which was demonstrated when there was a change in foreign policy. Boyd argues that President George W. Bush's President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) project caused a dramatic change in the perception of HIV and AIDS. Its thrust, however, was behavior change, which makes it rupture the common prevention strategy like the use of condoms. The absence of condoms and the emphasis on abstinence and faithfulness (i.e. A+B-C) within marriage in PEPFAR seemed to have perfectly aligned with the Ugandan traditional panacea to the pandemic. Thus the enthusiasm with which PEPFAR was received and the results achieved, despite the tensions, can be easily measured. For the Ugandans and their government, there existed before PEPFAR a lifestyle that emplaced and insisted on abstinence, which is elaborately celebrated when a woman was not deflowered before marriage; and faithfulness, which oils that love in marriage. The book espouses the cultural contests within which the Ugandans live and how these have affected their understanding of AIDS and response to behavior change. …" @default.
