Reviews

""Highly recommended."" * CHOICE * ""Building on existing research about the Great Recession, [Stout] offers intimate interviews with a dozen families who lost their homes in the Sacramento Valley. . . . Highly recommended."" * CHOICE * ""My hope is that when scholars write about this moment, the immeasurable loss and the suffering, they do so with the precision, clarity, and care Noelle Stout displays in her work on those who, grasping at the promise of the American dream, lost their homes and their place to unnatural disaster."" * American Journal of Sociology *


Highly recommended. * CHOICE *
