Written to be accessible to both students and lay readers concerned about AIDS in Africa, this is a challenge to place the global AIDS crisis in the context of the learning needs, hopes, priveleges and responsibilities of those living in the western world. Terry explores the dynamic tension in the black and white community between those with moral courage and a commitment to social equity and those who just want things the way they were. Looking behind the mask, he reveals tearful eyes, inspiring smiles and a stark reflection of the inequality of the modern world.
