In 1994, this public concern suddenly disappeared, without any significant reduction in the number of people without proper housing. By examining the making and unmaking of a homeless crisis, this book explores how public understandings of what constitutes a social crisis are shaped.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tDrawing on five years of ethnographic research in New York City with African Americans and Latinos living in poverty, Where Have All the Homeless Gone? reveals that the homeless “crisis” was driven as much by political misrepresentations of poverty, race, and social difference, as the housing, unemployment, and healthcare problems that caused homelessness and continue to plague American cities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e“…provides a rare and well-documented view inside the world of under-housed men in New York City… [It] is an interesting and convincing book.”\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e• H-Urban\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tPreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Where Have All the Homeless Gone?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1. \u003c\/strong\u003eWho Are the Homeless, Really?\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: The Performance of Homelessness\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3. \u003c\/strong\u003eNew York City and the Historiography of Homelessness\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Poverty of Poverty Studies\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5. \u003c\/strong\u003eShelterization: In the Land of the Homeless\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6. \u003c\/strong\u003eDoin’ It in the System\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Black Family and Homelessness\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8. \u003c\/strong\u003eHousing Panic and Urban Physiocrats\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9. \u003c\/strong\u003eAmerican Thatcherism: The Making and Unmaking of a Crisis\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tBibliography\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042962440535,"sku":"9781845450502","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781845450502.jpg?v=1750956418","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/where-have-all-the-homeless-gone-the-making-and-unmaking-of-a-crisis-9781845450502","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
