"The contributors here - from the United States, Canada, and Australia, working in university-based and community-based environments and for divergent communities - bring to the fore their specific experiences in the fight against HIV/AIDS. They share stories of shifting paradigms and challenging norms, and of seeking and finding innovation. By examining HIV/AIDS through an adult education lens, we gain insights into how communities (and governments) can respond quickly and effectively to emergent health issues - and other issues linked to marginalization."--Jacket.
