Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City

Sociologist Matthew Desmond of Princeton University follows eight Milwaukee families as they battle to maintain a roof over their heads in his book Evicted. Evicted revolutionises our knowledge of poverty and economic exploitation while offering novel solutions to one of the most pressing issues facing America in the twenty-first century. Its enduring themes of grief and hope serve as a constant reminder of how important home is—without which nothing else is conceivable.
