Description
Drawing on years of fieldwork and extensive research, this groundbreaking book examines the lives of families surviving on less than two dollars per person, per day. Through intimate stories of parents and children navigating unstable work, inadequate housing, and limited public assistance, it reveals the human cost of extreme poverty in contemporary America. The authors challenge common assumptions about welfare, employment, and economic opportunity while illuminating the resilience and resourcefulness of people living at the margins. Urgent, compassionate, and rigorously reported, the book offers a powerful look at a hidden dimension of American inequality.
