Reviews
"[Juhasz's and Kerr's] conversational model-by definition friendly, curious, and inviting, with an interest in accessibility and transparency-distinguishes [We Are Having This Conversation Now] from traditional academic writing and media criticism. Here, history-teaching and -learning is rooted in an oral history framework: that we learn what happened to communities from the people who constitute them."
-- Svetlana Kitto * Bomb *"We Are Having This Conversation Now carves a terrain of multimedia and citations. . . . [Juhasz and Kerr's] push to talk about AIDS across temporalities is an effort to drag conversations around AIDS and AIDS cultural production into a public present and keep them there."
-- Mackenzie Lukenbill * The Baffler *"We Are Having This Conversation Now is suffused with an awareness that the dominant narratives of AIDS in the United States have traditionally centered the lives of gay white men." -- Alex Valenti * The Body *
