Dr. Irene Vernon’s “Killing Us Quietly: Native Americans and Hiv/AIDS” is a long-overdue, and critically needed work. Vernon provides a depth of details and information pertaining to an issue that is little researched in the academic community. The interviews, research, and discussion make this an invaluable work!
Rating: 5 / 5
Vernon has written the first book to address the issues of AIDS and HIV in the Native American population. She has included interviews with both rural and urban Native Americans. She addresses the virus in women, children, IVU’s and two-spirits. A commendable job covering a rarely discussed issue.

I ordered 100 copies of this. I got 10 in two different shipments over a span of 1 month and had to cancel the remaining orders and look for a different vendor.
The product was new as described but i’m not happy with the merchant.
