Recenzii
An
extraordinary
ethnographic
study...
Desmond
takes
people
who
are
usually
seen
as
worthless,
and
shows
us
their
full
humanity
...
By
examining
one
city
through
the
microscopic
lens
of
housing,
he
shows
us
how
the
system
that
produces
that
pain
and
poverty
was
created
and
is
maintained
For the two or three weeks I was reading the book, it formed my topic of conversation with friends, and at night, when I went to sleep, it filled my thoughts ... It makes you aware of how complicated the webs holding you up are.
A monumental and vivid study of urban poverty ...Evicteddemands attention. It shines a klieg light on a dark corner of the American experience
Heartbreaking... Desmond's acute observational skills, his facility with reported dialogue and his ability to wrench chaotic stories into clear prose makeEvicteda vivid, if sometimes gruelling, read... with UK house prices unaffordable, a dearth of council housing and a Government committed to austerity,Evictedserves as a warning as to what happens when a society refuses to recognise the fundamental human right to shelter
A remarkable ethnography ... [Desmond] has a novelist's eye for the telling detail and a keen ear for dialogue ... This is a significant literary achievement, as well as a feat of reporting underpinned by statistical labour
Astonishing ... Desmond has set a new standard for reporting on poverty

Descriere
'Essential. A compelling and damning exploration of the abuse of one of our basic human rights: shelter.' Owen Jones
Arleen spends nearly all her money on rent but is kicked out with her kids in Milwaukee's coldest winter for years. Doreen's home is so filthy her family call it 'the rat hole'. Lamar, a wheelchair-bound ex-soldier, tries to work his way out of debt for his boys. Scott, a nurse turned addict, lives in a gutted-out trailer. This is their world. And this is the twenty-first century: where fewer and fewer people can afford a simple roof over their head.
