This book is about community activism around HIV/AIDS in Australia. It looks at the role that the gay community played in the social, medical and political response to the virus. Drawing conclusions about the cultural impact of social movements, the author argues that AIDS activism contributed to improving social attitudes towards gay men and lesbians in Australia, while also challenging some entrenched cultural patterns of the Australian medical system, allowing greater scope for non-medical intervention into the domain of health and illness. The book documents an important chapter in the history of public health in Australia and explores how HIV/AIDS came to be a defining issue in the history of gay and lesbian rights in Australia.

This landmark volume brings together some of the titans of social movement theory in a grand reassessment of its status. For some time, the field has been divided between a dominant structural approach and a cultural or constructivist tradition. The gaps and misunderstandings between the two sides-as well as the efforts to bridge them-closely parallel those in the discipline of sociology at large. This book aims to further the dialogue between these two distinct approaches to social movements and to show the broader implications for sociology as a whole as it struggles with issues including culture, emotion, and agency.

HIV and AIDS devastated communities across Australia in the 1980s and 1990s. In the midst of this profound health crisis, nurses provided crucial care to those living with and dying from the virus. They negotiated homophobia and complex family dynamics as well as defending the rights of their patients. Bringing together stories from across the country, historian Geraldine Fela documents the extraordinary care, compassion and solidarity shown by HIV and AIDS nurses. Critical Care unearths the important and unexamined history of nurses and nursing unions as caregivers and political agents who helped shape Australia’s response to HIV and AIDS. ‘Drawing on the frontline experience of nurses, Fela has written an insightful and moving history of the tragedy and triumphs of Australia’s response to the AIDS epidemic.’ – Dennis Altman, Vice Chancellor’s Fellow, La Trobe University ‘Critical Care shows how Australia’s AIDS crisis aroused fear, hatred and homophobia and yet forged new bonds of care, community and love. This beautifully told story of the nursing profession’s response to acute suffering and great tragedy – borne predominantly by gay men – is among the most moving Australian histories I have read. It will be essential for anyone interested in health, the professions, gender, sexuality and the shifting emotional landscape of the nation.’ – Frank Bongiorno, Professor of History, Australian National University ‘This outstanding book chronicles the role of nurses in addressing the AIDS pandemic, after the arrival of HIV. The old approach to epidemics was strict control and isolation. But something new was required by the nature of this unexpected crisis. Fortunately, in Australasia, healthcare professionals and lawmakers rose to the occasion. The special challenge of coping with patients needing care, often when they were profoundly sick and dying; where no vaccine was available; and no drugs were effective at first to turn the tide, put huge pressure on nurses on the front line. They helped lead our community to address the AIDS paradox. This book tells a heroic story. I honour the author and those whose work she describes so that their lessons will not be forgotten.’ – The Hon. Michael Kirby, Past Justice of The High Court of Australia and Patron of The Kirby Institute ‘As well as being a pleasure to read, this book shines new light on previously hidden stories in the Australian HIV response; that of nurses, trade unions and First Nations people. Fela’s insightful narrative brings to life the unique and vital role played by nurses who provided care in environments that were too often marked by intense fear and shame.’ – Jennifer Power, Associate Professor and Principal Research Fellow, La Trobe University ‘In this insightful book, Geraldine Fela revisits the Australian response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic and unearths the important and untold contribution of nurses. Nurses were on the frontlines of care during the epidemic and Fela beautifully brings forth their experiences, perspectives and voices. In her attention to labour history, gender and the impact of colonisation, Fela highlights less-told stories of the epidemic that help us re-evaluate the Australian response to HIV/AIDS. This is an important and often moving book.’ – Robert Reynolds, Professor of Modern History, Macquarie University ‘In the worst years of the AIDS crisis, nurses were the frontline of healthcare. Geraldine Fela’s compelling, myth-busting book shows how Australian nurses challenged stigma and transformed healthcare relationships and practices. Fela illuminates different healthcare approaches across states, and between city and country, and how nurses ensured effective responses to HIV in Indigenous communities.’ – Alistair Thomson, President Oral History Australia and Emeritus Professor in History, Monash University ‘In this marvellous book, Geraldine Fela reveals the day-to-day work of nurses and their unions in responding to the HIV/AIDS crisis in Australia. Through interviews and archival research, she shows how in caring, educating, advocating, they saved lives, eased suffering and reshaped our medical system from the ground up.’ – Graham Willett, Historian, Arch-tivist, Publisher ‘This book honours those who bathed the sweat from the exhausted brows of sufferers; who cared for people abandoned by their families and the community; who stood up for those who could no longer stand up for themselves. Bravo, bravo, bravo.’ – Caroline Overington, The Australian ‘Critical Care is an optimistic and galvanising read that celebrates the power of activism.’ – Jinghua Qian, ABC ARTS

Inner-city Sydney was the epicenter of gay life in the Southern hemisphere in the 1970s and early 1980s. Gay men moved from across Australasia to find liberation in the city’s vibrant community networks; and when HIV and AIDS devastated those networks, they grieved, suffered, and survived in ways that have often been left out of the historical record. This book excavates the intimate lives and memories of HIV-positive gay men in Sydney, focusing on the critical years between 1982 and 1996, when HIV went from being a terrifying unidentified disease to a chronic condition that could be managed with antiretroviral medication. Using oral histories and archival research, Cheryl Ware offers a sensitive, moving exploration of how HIV-positive gay men navigated issues around disclosure, health, sex, grief, death, and survival. HIV Survivors in Sydney reveals how gay men dealt with the virus both within and outside of support networks, and how they remember these experiences nearly three decades later.

Whether in the form of warfare, dispossession, forced migration, or social prejudice, Australia’s sense of nationhood was born from—and continues to be defined by—experiences of violence. Legacies of Violence probes this brutal legacy through case studies that range from the colonial frontier to modern domestic spaces, exploring themes of empathy, isolation, and Australians’ imagined place in the world. Moving beyond the primacy that is typically accorded white accounts of violence, contributors place particular emphasis on the experiences of those perceived to be on the social periphery, repositioning them at the center of Australia’s relationship to global events and debates.
