Safe Sex, Unsafe Identities examines the ways in which migration, ethnicity and racism have been handled within Swedish HIV/AIDS policy since the early 1980s. By analysing policy documents and sex educational materials, Anna Bredström demonstrates that the policy's framing of different 'target groups' and 'risk groups' often reinforces stereotypical identities instead of focusing on risky practices. Applying postcolonial feminist theories, the book reveals how the policy discourse is permeated by conceptions of migrant cultures as steeped in tradition and unsusceptible to change. The book also discusses how both masculinity and femininity, as well as heterosexuality and homosexuality, feature in the policy discourse as demarcations between Western and non-Western subjects and identifies the challenges that such knowledge implies for feminist HIV/AIDS research. Safe Sex, Unsafe Identities emphasizes the importance of critical analyses of race and ethnicity in the field of HIV/AIDS and public health. It highlights the drawbacks involved in the enterprise of epidemiological categorization and reveals the intimate link between health policy and broader socio-political developments.
