520 "By focusing on a small town in South Carolina, this study
of the HIV/AIDS crisis in the South reveals the hard
truths of an ongoing and complex issue. Skerritt contends
that the United States has failed to adequately address
the threat of HIV and AIDS in communities of color and
that taboos about love, race, and sexuality-combined with
Southern conservatism, white privilege, and black
oppression-continue to create an unacceptable death toll.
The heartbreak of America's failure comes alive through
case studies of individuals such as Carolyn, a wild child
whose rebellion coincided with the advent of AIDS, and
Nita, a young woman searching for love and trapped in an
abusive relationship. The results are most visible at the
town's segregated burial ground where dozens of young
black men and women who have died from AIDS are laid to
rest. Not only a call to action and awareness, this is a
true story of how persons of faith, enduring love, and
limitless forgiveness can inspire others by serving as
guides for poor communities facing a public health threat
burdened with conflicting moral and social conventions"--
