A review by jenmangler
Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City by Matthew Desmond

4.0

This was a brutal read. There were times I didn't want to keep reading, because it was just so depressing, but the book is far too important to abandon because it made me feel horrible. So I kept reading. I'm glad I did. Desmond made me confront my prejudices and helped me to begin to understand a reality I have no experience with. I'm going to be thinking about this book for a long, long time.
