Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - There have been many stories written about people dying with AIDS in the early years of the pandemic. They have too often been whitewashed and even romanticized. This book tells the stories of those who have lived and maybe died with AIDS, but who also have faced complex barriers to treatment. Some have schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Some are frequently incarcerated. Some have other medical conditions such as diabetes or kidney disease. Some struggle with the consequences of uncontrolled substance use. Some work the streets in order to survive. Some are immigrants or refugees. Many are unhoused. They are men and women, trans folks, people of multiple races and ethnicities, old and young, those with advance degrees and high school dropouts. This is a heartfelt memoir of the author's work with these neglected faces of the AIDS pandemic, and a testament to what she learned with and from them. The sixty-two stories are divided into sections which highlight what it is like to live with HIV/AIDS, how people deal with so much grief and loss, decisions people make to live life on their own terms, finding resilience and longing for hope.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the Valley of the Shadow is a powerful collection of lived experiences from the AIDS pandemic-stories that rarely made headlines, yet defined an era of fear, loss, resilience, and quiet courage. Drawing from decades of frontline social work, Cherry Johnson brings together deeply personal narratives of those who lived with the virus, those who cared for them, and those who were left behind.Set against the backdrop of the evolving AIDS crisis in the United States, this book moves beyond statistics and public perception to reveal the human realities of the disease. From the early years, marked by stigma, misinformation, and devastating loss, to the later shifts where HIV became a chronic condition for some and an ongoing struggle for many others, these stories capture the complexity of survival.The individuals in these pages come from all walks of life-across race, class, gender, and circumstance-but are united by shared vulnerability. Many lived on the margins, battling not only illness but also poverty, addiction, mental health challenges, and systemic neglect. Their voices, often unheard, are brought forward with honesty and care.Through these accounts, the book explores themes of grief, dignity, compassion, and ethical care. It also offers insight into the role of social work and community-based support in times of crisis, highlighting the importance of human connection in the face of overwhelming adversity.This is not a romanticised account of the pandemic. It is raw, unsettling, and deeply human. Yet within the darkness, there are moments of humour, resistance, love, and hope.More than a historical reflection, In the Valley of the Shadow is a reminder that the AIDS crisis is not over-and that the stories of those most affected still need to be told.…
