520    Over the past five centuries, waves of diseases have 
       ravaged and sometimes annihilated Native American 
       communities. The latest of these silent killers is HIV/
       AIDS. The first book to detail the devastating impact of 
       the disease on Native Americans, Killing Us Quietly fully 
       and minutely examines the epidemic and its social and 
       cultural consequences among three groups in three 
       geographical areas. Through a series of personal 
       narratives, the book also vividly conveys the terrible 
       individual and emotional toll the disease is taking on 
       Native lives. Exploring Native urban, reservation, and 
       rural perspectives, as well as the viewpoints of Native 
       youth, women, gay or bisexual men, this study combines 
       statistics, Native demography and histories, and profiles 
       of Native organizations to provide a broad understanding 
       of HIV/AIDS among Native Americans. The book confronts the
       unique economic and political circumstances and cultural 
       practices that can encourage the spread of the disease in 
       Native settings. And perhaps most important, it discusses 
       prevention strategies and educational resources. A much-
       needed overview of a national calamity, Killing Us Quietly
       is an essential resource for Natives and non-Natives 
       alike. Irene S. Vernon, of Mescalero Apache, Yaqui, and 
       Mexicana descent, is an associate professor in the English
       department and Center for Applied Studies in American 
       Ethnicity, Colorado State University.
