CULTURE WARS III
AIDS: The Body Politic Under Pressure

Table of Contents

"Remarkably, the iconic images or symbols of this plague are not made-for-TV movies, photojournalistic pictures, or schmaltzy pop songs, but the NAMES Project Quilt, a community artwork, and two artist-conceived emblems, Silence=Death and the Red Ribbon. Their effectiveness is testimony both to the power of art and the limits of popular culture."
