| Summary: | Kim Hopper has dedicated his career to trying to correct the problem of homelessness in the United States. In his book, he draws upon his dual strengths as anthropologist and advocate to provide a deeper understanding of the roots of homelessness. He also investigates the complex attitudes brought to bear on the issue since his pioneering fieldwork with Ellen Baxter in the 1980s helped put homelessness on the public agenda. |
