Description

Sexual Cultures and Migration in the Era of AIDS is the first demographic, anthropological study of what happens to sexual behavior and the rules of risk-taking in sexual encounters when people migrate from countryside to city, from one city to another, or from one country to another culture. It represents a milestone in the study of cross-cultural sexuality and sexually transmitted diseases.
