| [[ASIN:078902456X Behind The Eight Ball: Sex For Crack Cocaine Exchange And Poor Black Women (Haworth Psychosocial Issues of HIV/AIDS) (Haworth Psychosocial Issues of HIV/AIDS)]]
<br />This was an eye opener for me. We take so much for granted. When I read this book and realized how many poor, young Black women were killing themselves from the use of crack, I was saddened. I can't believe a country as rich as the US doesn't have enough resources to help these poor women who because of circumstances and wrong choices were being victimized. Until Dr. Sharpe brought attention to these women, I'm sure most people didn't realize this group of hlepless women existed and continue to exist by any means necessary. This is a must read for young women and men to get a glimpse of what life is like for women who feel they have no other choice but to sell their bodies for something that can eventually kill them.
Dr. Tanya Sharpe has managed to provide an in-depth look at crack cocaine and its impact on urban poor black women. This text is a wonderful resource for disciplines working with poor black women, HIV prevention, and of course those in addiction and public health. Very few books of this kind successfully capture the intersection of crack cocaine use among poor black women with the HIV/AIDS epidemic, societal and psychosocial implications. I highly recommend this book. |

| Being a lesbian myself, I have searched for a decent book on this topic. The truth is, the information I sought was just not out there.....until now. Lesbian Women and Sexual Health covers all the bases. From the different sexual identities lesbians embrace to myths about susceptibility. This book enforced my opinion that the community as a whole needs more extensive sex health education. The case studies included in the text are particularly intriguing and eye opening. |

| Is AIDS really caused by a virus such as HIV? This book cuts to the heart of why after 20 years we still have no cure or vaccine for AIDS. It is a brilllantly witten expose of what is really behind AIDS. It's well-documented and riviting. I recommend it highly. In a historical context Dr. Broxmeyer makes his argument and then some. |
