Description
In this groundbreaking work, Matthew Desmond and Enrique Maldonado Roldán follow families living on the edge of eviction, revealing how housing instability ripples through everyday life. Through vivid reporting and intimate portraits, the book traces the forces—economic precarity, predatory practices, and systemic neglect—that turn a single missed payment into a crisis of safety, health, and belonging. As landlords and tenants collide, readers see eviction not as an isolated event but as a recurring mechanism that deepens inequality and reshapes communities. Blending narrative power with rigorous social analysis, the authors illuminate the human stakes behind policy debates and challenge us to rethink what it means to protect home.
