Reviews

Kathleen R. Arnold presents a thoughtful, careful exposition of the problem of homelessness in contemporary politics by carefully integrating theoretical concerns with practical social and political concerns. She lays bare how the homeless are denied the protections and opportunities afforded 'citizens' and are, therefore, the site of the most undemocratic of policies and practices. - John Randolph LeBlanc, The University of Texas at Tyler
