Article Synopsis
- Campaigns to circumcise boys and men in Africa are being promoted to curb HIV transmission, backed by the World Health Organization and the U.S. government, but they stem from problematic historical contexts.
- The initiatives have been criticized for neglecting thorough research and cultural understanding, indicating troubling assumptions about health and sexuality in Africa.
- The article argues that these circumcision efforts are rooted in cultural imperialism rather than effective health policy, highlighting the need for genuine representation of African communities in decision-making processes.
