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
评分哈佛社会学明星教授去年的书,被纽时评为2016年十佳书籍。读起来像小说,其实是真人真事,基于作者写博士论文期间所做的田野材料。作者文笔出色,读者为频被驱逐的人物揪心难过的时刻,顺带了解贫穷背后的社会机制,以及房东租户之间复杂的情理互动。
评分冬天读这种书真是太苦了。欠房租遭驱逐,大冬天断气。想延续之前的那本Janesville,这本讲Milwaukee(为什么Wisconsin总是被当典型?)美国的驱逐跟中国的自然不一样,一个对照。想起之前看到说美国社区大学的代课老师的住所问题(也是房车)。这本里面主要讲无业人员/低教育人群。房租、房子问题真的看起来全世界都一样,没有资产仅凭双手很难生存。哪怕"租房"概念>"买房"概念,也还是要面临诸多问题。印象很深的一个段落是,当单亲妈妈负担不起孩子任何在食物以外的东西时,孩子想要新衣新鞋,妈妈就会告诉他:You don't deserve it. ——感觉会留下心理阴影,孩子哪里错了为什么不deserve啊……作者在后面叩问,生为一个American是否有住的权利,是不是最基本的权利。
评分被驱逐,是贫困的另一面。居无定所带来的心理创伤以及被驱逐带来的一系列影响,诸如人力资本的摧毁和饥寒交迫的折磨,让人们陷入无休止的贫穷恶性循环之中。似乎经济学家真没有写过关于被驱逐导致的一系列经济后果,倒是写了不少关于foreclosure,申请破产,或者晚年个人财富突遭褫夺引发的一些列影响。现在看来,数据其实就在那里。

Matthew Desmond is an American sociologist and urban ethnographer. He is currently the John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard University and Co-Director of the Justice and Poverty Project. The author of several books, including the award-winning book, "On the Fireline," and "Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City," Desmond was awarded a MacArthur "Genius" grant in 2015 for his work on poverty in America.
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...
