This lecture will examine the AIDS activist
rhetoric used to challenge US immigration
law during the 1990 and 1992 International
AIDS Conferences. Their strategies offer
insight into the function of rhetoric in building
transnational coalitions. Their strategies also
illustrate the uniqueness of AIDS activist
rhetoric during a time when AIDS was, for
most, a death sentence.
