Poverty, AIDS, and Street Children in East AfricaJoe Lugalla, Colleta G. Kibassa Edwin Mellen Press, 2002 - 341 pagina's Papers collected here were presented at the International Conference on Street Children and Street Children's Health, organized by the editors and held in Dar-Es-Salaam in April 2000. Contributors describe how poverty, abuse, and the AIDS epidemic create a population of vulnerable street children, and through a critical assessment of the economic dislocation and political costs of the conditions imposed by the IMF and World Bank Structural Adjustment Program, they underscore the role of external players in the tragedy of street children. Lugalla teaches in the Department of Anthropology at the University of New Hampshire.
