Evicted

Poverty and Profit in the American City
May 03, 2018
This Pulitzer prize winner book was filled with stories of the desperate resilience of people against poverty and hardships in the poorest neighborhoods of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This was not an easy book to read. It was a depressingly accurate reminder of profit over people. Matthew Desmond describes the underbelly of horrific living conditions that exists in America and explains how and why the cycle of evictions repeat and repeat. This book is evidence that having a decent home to live in is not a luxury, but is a necessity for the mental and physical health development of children AND adults. Some countries believe this is a human right. America is not one of them.
