Niche History: HIV/AIDS

by MoonyReads
//
50 books

Books that focus on the AIDS epidemic (mostly US, mostly the 80s-90s - though not exclusively). This includes history, sociology, cultural criticism of the time, and even fiction. This is such an important era to understand modern politics - especially queer politics and the LGBTQ+ community
