Download or read book Risk and Africa written by Lena Bloemertz and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2012 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a range of articles, this book explores the changing nature of risk in contemporary African societies. It provides a valuable addition to the current debate on the concept of risk, which has traditionally been skewed in favor of a European historical experience. The contributions illustrate that technological hazards, pollution, and climate change - as well as the introduction of new forms of insurance and the restructuring of civil society - are just some of the recent developments that invite us to be skeptical of prevailing notions of risk in the African context. The reader is encouraged to move away from focusing on the vulnerability of Africa as a pre-modern society to consider more localized and contemporary perspectives of risk. In exploring new ways of conceptualizing risk in Africa, the book addresses the challenge of making theoretical and methodological advances in risk research relevant to understanding the processes of social change on the continent.

Download or read book The Structure of Susceptibility written by Aimee Shipman and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid global spread of HIV/AIDS, most notably characterized by its particularly intense diffusion within Sub-Saharan Africa has exposed the limitations of conventional development indicators to identify sources of risk and to measure susceptibility and vulnerability to systemic risk within developing societies. In its publication Emerging Systemic Risk in the 21st Century, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development identifies major risks in the 21st century and the challenges for societies' ability to handle these risks. As discussed by the OECD, a society's ability to manage or withstand risk (resiliency) does not necessarily coincide with its development performance as evaluated by contemporary development indicators. Sources of susceptibility and vulnerability to risk often lie undetected within populations until exposed to a threat. The ineffectiveness of the economic achievements of developing societies to minimize the threat of HIV/AIDS refocuses attention on the changing structure of social fabric within these transitioning societies. This study is organized conceptually around the theoretical framework of Richard Wilkinson and others (Kawachi, Marmot, Putnam) which evaluates the relationships linking varying levels of income inequality, economic development and social capital within developed societies to overall levels of health within those societies. This conceptual model was used to structure an investigation of similar potential relationships within developing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to determine whether consideration of influences such as income inequality, modernization or wealth, and social capital has value for understanding the exceptional susceptibility of Sub-Saharan African countries to HIV/AIDS.
Download or read book Men and Development written by and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wide-ranging volume featuring contributions from some of today's leading thinkers and practitioners in the field of men, masculinities and development. Together, contributors challenge the neglect of the structural dimensions of patriarchal power relations in current development policy and practice, and the failure to adequately engage with the effects of inequitable sex and gender orders on both men's and women's lives. The book calls for renewed engagement in efforts to challenge and change stereotypes of men, to dismantle the structural barriers to gender equality, and to mobilize men to build new alliances with women's movements and other movements for social and gender justice.

Book excerpt: Facing up to AIDS is a novel and incisive study of a global plague which continues to threaten to engulf South Africa at this crucial moment in its history. Economists, demographers and health planners present a range of new methods of understanding the likely course of the disease, drawn from the most recent research and thinking by social scientists on the relationship between epidemic disease, economic growth and human resources. South Africa presents a unique opportunity for understanding AIDS, combining as it does Third World problems with a sophisticated infrastructure: the models of demographic projection and economic linkages which are explored here will be of major relevance for examining the socio-economic impact of AIDS in a range of countries in Asia and Latin America. Until medical science comes up with a miracle vaccine, the modification of behaviour is the only defence, and the essays in this volume make a powerful case for putting further resources into the research needed to bring this about.
Download or read book When AIDS meets poverty written by Carolyne I. Nombo and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the fifth in the AWLAE series. The AWLAE titles address the issue of gendered impacts of HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. The present book is based on research in a village in Tanzania about the role of social capital in mitigating AIDS impacts, at the level of the household and within the local community. It contributes to the current knowledge base on social capital by questioning general assumptions on the role of social capital in rural livelihoods in a context of high HIV/AIDS prevalence. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, the research yielded empirical evidence about the limitations of social capital as a resource for the poor. Both the generation and sustenance of social capital at household level are severely challenged by declining access to other livelihood assets as a consequence of HIV/AIDS. In a situation where HIV/AIDS is still shrouded in secrecy and stigma at the community level, a decline of trust in social relations and community institutions as well as a proliferation of witchcraft accusations, could be observed. This insightful publication provides a timely contribution to the discourse on the significance of social capital for the poor, ensuring that social scientists will never look at social capital in quite the same way.

Book excerpt: The problem of children left orphaned and vulnerable by HIV/AIDS is receiving increasing attention worldwide. Yet, even as the global community acknowledges the human tragedy that orphaning on the scale heralded by the HIV/AIDS epidemic represents, it is widely speculated that large numbers of orphans may themselves represent a security challenge. By reducing the resources available to children and destabilising the institutions on which they depend - such as the family, school and community - it is argued that HIV/AIDS may severely affect children's development, creating generations of disenfranchised and potentially dysfunctional young people left with little alternative but engage in criminal and other threatening activities.
Download or read book The Relationship Between Poverty and Hiv Aids in Zimbabwe written by Herbert Zirima and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIV/AIDS has troubled most African countries, particularly the resource strained nations of Sub-Saharan Africa. Zimbabwe, has not been spared from this crisis. This book analyses how a state of poverty which generally entails lack of resources exposes women to the risk of contracting HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Women in Zimbabwe largely live in poverty, and as such they sometimes engage in unprotected sex as a means of survival. That trend is common in mining towns such as Renco mine, where this study was focusing on. The low levels of education among the women, which is also positively correlated with poverty was found to be among the factors responsible for vulnerability to HIV infection among women. The research recommends that the government should initiate income generating programmes for women so that they can be emancipated from poverty.
