As AIDS spread, the devastating syndrome came to be known simply as ugonjwa huo: "that disease." The AIDS epidemic has forced Africans to reflect upon the meaning of traditional ideas and practices related to sexuality and fertility, and upon modernity and biomedicine. In A Plague of Paradoxes, anthropologist Philip Setel observes Tanzania's Chagga people and their attempts to cope with and understand AIDS&;the latest in a series of crises over which they feel they have little, if any, control. Timely and well-researched, A Plague of Paradoxes is an extended case study of the most serious epidemic of the twentieth century and the cultural circumstances out of which it emerged. It is a uniqu that brings together anthropology, demography, and epidemiology to explain how a particular community in Africa experiences AIDS.
