abstract
Compiled from materials submitted by the publisher.
What really causes AIDS? A virus from Africa? Or our own neglect — or worse — of whole categories of our population?
The essays in The Aids Cult show how a number of different beliefs, group interests, and social forces conspire to make us “sick.”
With varied backgrounds and different vantage points, the eight contributors offer a fresh, radical view of our society's health crisis, as manifested in the gay community. They challenge us to re-examine our assumptions about AIDS and terminate the mass sacrificial ritual we have been enacting.
