Margaret Akan of the All Nations Hope AIDS Network is certain that the negative stigma associated with HIV/AIDS is preventing many Aboriginals from being tested for the disease.
Six papers by seven American and African academics examine the metaphors shaping perceptions of HIV/AIDs in Tanzania; the cultural underpinnings of the works of Nigerian author Ola Rotimi and Kenyan author Ngugi wa Thiong'o; language in social interaction in Akan (Ghana and the Ivory Coast) and Dagomba (Ghana); discursive strategies in the palace of a Northern Ghanaian King; and influences on the choices made by speakers when addressing others in Akan and Ewe (Ghana and the Republic of Togo).
