The first book to examine the correlation between mixed-race identity and HIV\/AIDS<\/a> among Native American gay men and transgendered people, Indian Blood<\/em> provides an analysis of the emerging and often contested LGBTQ<\/a> “two-spirit<\/a>” identification as it relates to public health and mixed-race identity.<\/p>\n

Prior to contact with European settlers, most Native American tribes held their two-spirit members in high esteem, even considering them spiritually advanced. However, after contact – and religious conversion – attitudes changed and social and cultural support networks were ruptured. This discrimination led to a breakdown in traditional values, beliefs, and practices, which in turn pushed many two-spirit members to participate in high-risk behaviors. The result is a disproportionate number of two-spirit members who currently test positive for HIV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Using surveys, focus groups, and community discussions to examine the experiences of HIV-positive members of San Francisco’s<\/a> two-spirit community, Indian Blood<\/em> provides an innovative approach to understanding how colonization continues to affect American Indian communities and opens a series of crucial dialogues in the fields of Native American studies, public health, queer studies, and critical mixed-race studies<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
