Aids, Intimacy and Care in Rural Kwazulu-Natal: A Kinship of Bones

In 2003-2006, Patricia Henderson lived in the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal where she recorded the experiences of people living with HIV/AIDS. In this illuminating study, she recounts the concerns of rural people and explores local repertoires through which illness was folded into everyday life.

Patricia C. Henderson is a lecturer in the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of Cape Town.
