520 Synopsis: In their examination of what it means to be
truly at home on the street, Jason Wasserman and Jeffrey
Clair argue that programs and policies addressing homeless
people too often serve only to alienate them. They delve
into the complex realities of homelessness to paint a
gripping picture of individuals - not cases or pathologies
- living on the street and of their strategies for daily
survival. By exploring the private spaces that those who
are homeless create for themselves, as well as their
prevailing social mores, the authors explain how well-
intentioned policies and programs often only widen the gap
between the indigent and mainstream society. The result is
an unvarnished look at the culture of long-term
homelessness and a fresh approach to reaching this
resurgent population.
