Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academics and activists have come together in this edited volume to tackle the complex issues surrounding migration and AIDS. The book sets the agenda for the development of HIV/AIDS prevention and care programme in migrant and minority ethnic communities. Issues covered include: migration patterns; policies for migrant health; legal and human rights issues as they affect mobile populations; racism and stigma; and HIV/AIDS prevention, care and programme evaluation as they pertain to migrant communities. The editors end with an overview of some of the key issues which remain to be addressed. The book identifies foundations on which bridges can be built, attempting to turn away from thinking of migration in terms of 'them ' and 'us', of public health in terms of protection, and from conceptualizing AIDS in terms of the infected and the non-infected. It is hoped that readers will take up the challenge, turn towards groups too often ignored, and ultimately work towards social justice and equity.

Book excerpt: Recently, community-based HIV/AIDS organizations have expressed interest in developing more formal links with their counterparts in other countries and have begun to develop such links. The purpose of this publication is to enhance the ability of such organizations to undertake twinning with organizations in other countries. Chapter 1 introduces the concept of twinning, its benefits, and forms of twinning, and lists several examples of past or current twinning projects. Chapter 2 discusses the conditions that should be present before an organization takes on a twinning project. It describes characteristics of successful twinning, explains the advantages of twinning being a two-way process, and identifies several challenges associated with twinning projects. Chapter 3 considers some of the cultural issues that can arise in international twinning projects, including those related to intercultural understanding, communications, North-South dynamics, and language. The last chapter explains how the organization can get involved in a twinning project. A step-by-step format is used to provide guidance for the exploration stage and the planning stage. This is followed by information to help the organization implement and evaluate twinning projects.
