4. In Infectious Ideas, Jennifer Brier convincingly argues that the AIDS epidemic had a profound effect
on the American political landscape. Viewing contemporary history from the perspective of the AIDS
crisis, she provides rich, new understandings of the complex social and political trends of the
post-1960s era. Brier describes how AIDS workers--in groups as disparate as the gay and lesbian
press, AIDS service organizations, private philanthropies, and the State Department--influenced
American politics, especially on issues such as gay and lesbian rights, reproductive health, racial
justice, and health care policy, even in the face of the expansion of the New Right. Indeed, the book
shows that efforts to deal with AIDS produced significant fissures in the conservative movement
during this period, especially when the State Department and USAID adopted AIDS as a centerpiece
of its diplomatic strategy, including the distribution of millions of condoms overseas. Infectious Ideas
places recent social, cultural, and political events in a new light, making an important contribution to
our understanding of the United States at the end of the twentieth century.
