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.
