Evicted Check Availability

Nonfiction

In this groundbreaking book, Harvard sociologist and 2015 MacArthur “Genius” Award winner, Matthew Desmond, takes readers into the poorest neighborhoods of Milwaukee, where families spend most of their income on housing and where eviction has become routine — a vicious cycle that deepens our country’s vast inequality. Based on years of embedded fieldwork and painstakingly gathered data, Evicted transforms our understanding of extreme poverty and economic exploitation while providing fresh ideas for solving a devastating, uniquely American problem. Published in 2016; 418 pages.

Includes 15 paperback copies and 1 book club guide prepared by WCPL.
