Homeless – Poverty and Place in Urban America de Ella Howard

Homeless – Poverty and Place in Urban America: Politics and Culture in Modern America

Autor Ella Howard
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 feb 2013
Homeless explores the efforts of private and public institutions to solve the problem of homelessness by tracing the rise and fall of skid rows in America through the lens of New York's Bowery. Crowded onto skid rows, the homeless lived apart from the middle classes, who saw them as an aberrant population.

Recenzii

"Through thorough research, sound use of secondary sources, and a shrewd focus on America's first and largest skid row, the Bowery, Howard has produced a book that will be essential reading for scholars of homelessness and social welfare."-Todd DePastino, author of Citizen Hobo: How a Century of Homelessness Shaped America "Howard seamlessly weaves larger issues of urban renewal, housing, alcohol research, the deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill, and gentrification into her history of the Bowery, which serves as a touchstone to which she returns. The result is a history of American policy on homelessness at the federal, state, and municipal levels that remains grounded in the lived experience of homeless men and women in the middle decades of the twentieth century."-Eric Schneider, author of Smack: Heroin and the American City
