Former President Nelson Mandela, Bono, Peter
Gabriel and other superstars stood together on the
stage at Greenpoint StadiuminCape Town in front
of billions of television viewers around the world,
watching the �46664�music extravaganza in support
of the fight against AIDS in Africa. AIDS is clearly a
global pandemic and responses to it have inevitably
been on a global scale. At the same time, the disease
has highly localised aspects to it. AIDS activists have
had to address both the global dimensions and the
local specificities of this epidemic.
