This book is an ethnographic case study of a HIV/AIDS Support Group and Music Ensemble who use music to articulate their individual and collective experiences of HIV/AIDS and to engage in the local and global AIDS discourses. The study uses the approach of microanalysis of music event and processes involving the choir to interrogate as to understand the bigger picture of HIV/AIDS story in South Africa. It places the choir and the cultural and political issues their music portends to engage in the broader context of South Africa's public health and political history, and the global, albeit transnational culture and politics of HIV/AIDS.
