It explores how race, gender, sexuality, and spirituality influence the motivations and approaches of these activists, using womanism as a framework to understand their work in a broader sociocultural and historical context. The authors suggest that identity, spirituality, emotions, and experiences with AIDS knowledge all impact how these activists approach community activism. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 162 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 September 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWomanist AIDS Activism in the United States: \"Its Who We Are\" is a comprehensive examination of the advocacy efforts of Black women in the fight against AIDS. Drawing from in-depth interviews with thirty-six Black women AIDS activists from diverse regions across the country, authors Angelique Harris and Omar Mushtaq explore the intricate interplay of race, gender, sexuality, and spirituality that shape the motivations and strategies of these remarkable women. By employing the womanist epistemological framework, the authors aim to contextualize this activism within a broader sociocultural and historical framework. Their findings reveal that identity, spirituality, emotions, and experiences with AIDS knowledge significantly influence the approaches these activists take in engaging with their communities. Through a detailed analysis of womanism, the authors propose ways in which this framework can be expanded to encompass a broader examination of community engagement among women of color, particularly Black women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWomanist AIDS Activism in the United States: \"Its Who We Are\" delves into the profound realm of AIDS advocacy among Black women.
