Reviews

"“This volume fills a gap in the research on LGBTQ youth who face homelessness, particularly transgender youth. . . . Highly recommended.” * CHOICE * “This book constitutes a relevant tool for understanding how someone gets to face homelessness, even if not queer.”   * Ethnic and Racial Studies * ""Coming Out to the Streets is a timely, sharply argued, and beautifully written book that adds theoretical nuance and empirical heft to the literature on homelessness, LGBTQ youth, governmentality, and the social safety net."" * American Journal of Sociology *"
