In Chapter 1, Segun Ige and Tim Quinlan provide a framework for the
book’s criticism of African governments’ responses to the HIV/AIDS
pandemic. They examine patterns in national responses since the 1980s
to show the poverty of executive leadership and the limitations imposed
on citizens’ rights to healthcare. The key concepts with regard to the
variable efficacy of national responses to the pandemic are
transformational and incidental leadership. With regard to citizens’
rights, in the context of general ambivalence of African heads of state
to the welfare of their citizens, Ige and Quinlan show how and why
states see their citizens as ‘enemies’.
Chapters 2, 3 and 4 present positive constructions of leadership in
Africa. These chapters illustrate the practice of transformational
leadership. However, Chapter 4 also introduces the negative values of
incidental leadership, illustrated in subsequent chapters by the
constraints that governments have imposed upon civil society
organisations’ innovative responses to HIV/AIDS.
In Chapter 2, Judith Flick discusses an exercise in Zambia that
sought to define and cultivate the type of leadership required to contain
the pandemic. She describes the theory and practice of this project,
which entails personal journeys inward that reflect the need for leaders
to look closely at what is happening in their own societies.
