The Definitive Work on Native Americans and AIDS
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Dr. Irene Vernon's "Killing Us Quietly: Native Americans and Hiv/AIDS" is a long-overdue, and critically needed work. Vernon provides a depth of details and information pertaining to an issue that is little researched in the academic community. The interviews, research, and discussion make this an invaluable work!
A first of it's kind and a needed title.

Vernon has written the first book to address the issues of AIDS and HIV in the Native American population. She has included interviews with both rural and urban Native Americans. She addresses the virus in women, children, IVU's and two-spirits. A commendable job covering a rarely discussed issue.
