Recensione:
...must reading for anyone involved in the global fight against HIV/AIDS, a book destined to become both popular and a classic text... Within its pages are precious stories of resilience, courage, and human-dignity-preserved during a crisis unimaginable to the average citizen of the industrialized world, or even to health providers and to artists. (Dr. Clyde Lanford Smith, MD, MPH, DTM&H, FACP, President, Doctors for Global Health)
The central strength of the book is that the subject is meaningful and important to human life, in a word - it matters, which is unfortunately too often not the case. (Benjamin Koen, editor, The Oxford Handbook of Medical Ethnomusicology)
Wachtel's book not only dispels the myth of the Balkans as a land of violence and ancient hatreds, but also focuses on the gradual transformation of the region from a land in-between and borderland into contemporary Southeast Europe. (Slavic and Eastern European Journal)
