Book Review: Living with AIDS in Uganda: Impacts on Banana-Farming Households in Two Districts

Abstract

By Monica Karuhanga Beraho, African women leaders in agriculture and the environment (AWLAE) Series No. 6, Wageningen: Wageningen Academic Publishers. 2008. 371pp. ISBN 978-90-8686-064-7

The book is essentially a doctoral thesis and, as such, offers a very detailed study of the impact of AIDS on banana-farming households in two Ugandan districts. Being based on a thesis means that it should not be regarded as a general text on AIDS and livelihoods, but it does offer many insights into the reality of living with AIDS in these specific communities.
