The more I read and learn and understand how institutionalized racism started and continues to be reinforced, the more I fear for this country.

A brutal and incredibly upsetting look at poverty and the damage eviction does to people and their families; what keeps it from reading as trauma porn is the author's deep commitment to the humanity of his subjects and constant examination of the systems that have not so much failed them as been designed to exploit them.
