Offers a major reconsideration of homelessness in the US, casting a critical eye on how we as a society respond to crises of inequality and stratification. Incorporating local studies into a national narrative, David Wagner probes how homelessness shifted from being the subject of a politically charged controversy over poverty and social class to posing a functional question of social service delivery.
