The author of Evicted reimagines the debate on poverty, making a new and bracing argument about why it persists in America: because the rest of us benefit from it.
What The Reviewers Say
A lucid and scathing explanation for one of our nation’s abiding injustices.
It’s brave, in a way, that Desmond has chosen such a different approach for his bracing new book.
A compact jeremiad on the persistence of extreme want in a nation of extraordinary wealth, a distillation into argument form of the message embedded within the narrative of Evicted.
Provocative and compelling.
