Having spent a ground-breaking career studying the racialization, policing, and criminalization of HIV, Dr. Steven Thrasher has come to understand a deeper truth at the heart of our society: that there are vast inequalities in who is able to survive viruses and that the ways in which viruses spread, kill, and take their toll are much more dependent on social structures than they are on biology alone. Told through the heart-rending stories, Dr. Thrasher brings the reader with him as he delves into the viral underclass and lays bare its inner workings. Print run 75,000.
