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

4.0

[2016; Pulitzer Prize winner] Thoroughly researched; really well written and presented; incredibly hard to read. A really important book for anyone who has had the good fortune to have never experienced this kind of poverty, has never lived with the daily threat of eviction, or has ever taken for granted the roof over his/her head. The epilogue, "Home and Hope", and the "About This Project" chapters were really valuable, and in hindsight I wish I'd read them first.
