From Harvard sociologist and MacArthur "Genius" Matthew Desmond, a landmark work of scholarship and reportage that will forever change the way we look at poverty in America

In this brilliant, heartbreaking book, Matthew Desmond takes us into the poorest neighborhoods of Milwaukee to tell the story of eight families on the edge. Arleen is a single mother trying to raise her two sons on the $20 a month she has left after paying for their rundown apartment. Scott is a gentle nurse consumed by a heroin addiction. Lamar, a man with no legs and a neighborhood full of boys to look after, tries to work his way out of debt. Vanetta participates in a botched stickup after her hours are cut. All are spending almost everything they have on rent, and all have fallen behind.

The fates of these families are in the hands of two landlords: Sherrena Tarver, a former schoolteacher turned inner-city entrepreneur, and Tobin Charney, who runs one of the worst trailer parks in Milwaukee. They loathe some of their tenants and are fond of others, but as Sherrena puts it, “Love don’t pay the bills.” She moves to evict Arleen and her boys a few days before Christmas.

Even in the most desolate areas of American cities, evictions used to be rare. But today, most poor renting families are spending more than half of their income on housing, and eviction has become ordinary, especially for single mothers. In vivid, intimate prose, Desmond provides a ground-level view of one of the most urgent issues facing America today. As we see families forced into shelters, squalid apartments, or more dangerous neighborhoods, we bear witness to the human cost of America’s vast inequality—and to people’s determination and intelligence in the face of hardship.

Based on years of embedded fieldwork and painstakingly gathered data, this masterful book transforms our understanding of extreme poverty and economic exploitation while providing fresh ideas for solving a devastating, uniquely American problem. Its unforgettable scenes of hope and loss remind us of the centrality of home, without which nothing else is possible.

每次产业转型的背后都会有一批人成为“发展的垫脚石”,这些人被排除在主流视线之外,成为中产阶层眼中并不存在的社会灰色人群。在发达国家,他们是“城市贫民”“社会底层”,在中国,他们的身份构成更为复杂,有农民工、贫困户、体制改革后的下岗职工。 对于这些人来说,无法...

非常扎实但是喜欢不起来的研究

评分

作为论文可能不错,作为想要宣传某种理念的畅销书不成功反而适得其反

好的学术写作,就是要做好对外行来说深入浅出,对内行来说挖掘到令人意外的深度。不卖弄,不装逼,好好说人话,这才在写作层面,对得起骗来的funding啊

读到结尾作者说不想用第一人称写作,然而对于这本故事性极强的非虚构小说实在是一点也喜欢不起来= = 基本的结论 1被驱逐被视为个人失败,人们不容易意识到这是社会不公正导致的结果 2贫困的社区不会像工会一样联合起来要求住户的权益 3警察不愿意三次以上造访同一房产,导致很多人不报警,有更多暴力和危险事件发生 4贫困导致抑郁等其他心理疾病 5贫困者自控能力差 6带孩子的家庭更难找到住房 7男性更容易选择离开自己的家庭而女性(单亲母亲)会被和孩子绑在一起 8住房市场存在大量(基于种族的)剥削 10住房法庭和陪审团更代表房东的利益,因为房东更参与司法过程也更有经济实力和资源去维护自己的利益。总之居住稳定=社会关系网稳定=心理稳定=社区稳定。作者主张住房权利,推广贫困家庭住房直接补贴 Chris

既做過租客又做過房東的我,看這本書讓我一再陷入深思。不同的個案,能夠讓人更清楚瞭解窮人租房難的種種,作者穿插的對政策的解釋也讓人瞭解到問題背後的矛盾和可能的根源。我同意作者說的,每一個人都應該有體面居住的權利,我也真心為無家可歸的人難過。書讓我第一次瞭解到,租給窮人/貧民區的利潤如此的高,難過像香港那種劏房那麽普遍。作者提到可能的解決方法,就是政府提供house voucher。我覺得人口問題和城市過度發展也是根源之一,西方政府幾乎不對此作為,書也沒討論人口問題和城市規劃,可能不是作者專長吧。稍後再整理一下筆記和思考。
