Title: Love and Death in the Kingdom of Swaziland
Author: Glenn Alan Cheney
Publisher: New London Librarium
Year:2012
88 pages
This report from Swaziland gives an overview of the terrible conditions in the countryside and the obstacles faced by a religious organization providing care, particularly HIV/AIDS care. I found the depiction of the Swazi off-putting and unsympathetic, which I imagine reflects the nuns' and author's frustration as they try to change traditional behaviors. I didn't get a good sense of how the author came to be in Swaziland.
