South African AIDS activism and global health politics[electronic resource] /Mandisa Mbali. - Basingstoke :Palgrave Macmillan,2013. - 1 online resource.

Introduction: South African AIDS Activism & Global Health Justice -- PART I: AIDS ACTIVISM & SOUTH AFRICA'S TRANSITION -- 1. Health for all? Healthworker AIDS Activism 1982 - 94 -- 2. From Pride to Political Funeral: Gay AIDS Activism 1990 - 4 -- 3. Women, Science and Sexism in AIDS Activism in the 1990s -- PART II: THE TAC & GLOBAL HEALTH POLITICS -- 4. Science and Sexuality in the Formation of the TAC, 1994 - 2001 -- 5. 'pharma' v. Mandela: South African Moral Capital in a Global Movement -- 6. Radical legitimacy: Rights & Reasonableness in the TAC, 2001 - 3 -- 7. 'The Durban Effect': The TAC's Impact on Global Health Diplomacy & Governance -- Conclusion: Recession & Reinventions.

What did South African AIDS activists contribute, politically, to early international advocacy for free HIV medicines for the world's poor? Mandisa Mbali demonstrates that South Africa's Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) gave moral legitimacy to the international movement which enabled it to effectively push for new models of global health diplomacy and governance. The TAC rapidly acquired moral credibility, she argues, because of its leaders' anti-apartheid political backgrounds, its successful human rights-based litigation and its effective popularization of AIDS-related science. The country's arresting democratic transition in 1994 enabled South African activists to form transnational alliances. Its new Constitution provided novel opportunities for legal activism, such as the TAC's advocacy against multinational pharmaceutical companies and the South African government. Mbali's history of the TAC sheds light on its evolution into an influential force for global health justice.
