Boys to Men in the Shadow of AIDS

"Boys to Men in the Shadow of AIDS" is an ethnographic study that explores the lives of missionary-trained men in Zambia. The book highlights their search for meaning amidst the AIDS pandemic and analyzes their responses to prevention measures and HIV testing. It discusses how hegemonic masculinities may be reshaped and how gender relations change in this context. By combining personal narratives with social scientific analysis, the work provides deep insights into the challenges and transformations these men experience in an HIV-affected society. The study contributes to a greater understanding of the complex dynamics of gender and health in Zambia and encourages reflection on the societal norms that shape masculinity.
