reviewed Down & Out, on the Road The Homeless in American History on November 13, 2011
Down & Out
This book was very interesting, but exceptionally dry. The author made some interesting observations. For example, post-WWII, the homeless population was predominantly older white males. It was not until the 1980s and 1990s that the demographics changed so drastically, and now, it is predominantly minorities, and in particular, African American single mothers. I didn't finish this book, but would definitely pick it up again if I wanted to refer back to some of the arguments presented.
