Children As Caregivers: The Global Fight Against Tuberculosis And Hiv In Zambia (Rutgers Series In Childhood Studies) - 9780813588049

Medical anthropologist Jean Hunleth chronicles the experiences of children living with parents and guardians who are suffering from these infectious diseases and shows how their perspectives matter in the global debates about health care. Children as Caregivers examines how well intentioned practitioners fail to realize how children take on active caregiving roles when their guardians become seriously ill.
