An Indefinite Sentence: A Personal History of Outlawed Love and Sex by Siddharth Dube
3.0
3.5 stars
I learned a lot from this book. While I have a pretty solid knowledge base surrounding HIV/AIDS history and activism here in the states, I was woefully lacking in applicable knowledge as to how it has been addressed in other parts of the world. Dube's book was sometimes difficult for me because it contains a ton of information, and I would get overwhelmed with the many twists and turns. That being said, I learned a lot, and it also helped me reshape my thinking on the AIDS crisis (i.e. how it was attached to sex workers and how damaging its effects in those communities has been).
