Recenzii
Neither pundits nor the larger society have figured out how to view those without shelter as full human beings. In this sophisticated analysis, Marvasti demonstrates how those labeled 'homeless' are politically and bureaucratically constructed by middle-class people whose interests often do not coincide with those of the homeless.
Being Homeless is the most imaginative study of homelessness in recent memory. Superbly crafted and engagingly written, Being Homeless is essential reading for social researchers, social service providers, policy makers, and students of social problems and urban life....
Where this book truly excels is its review of prior discourse on the topic, with special emphasis upon the limitations of the positivist research tradition that has thus far defined our knowledge of what it is truly like to be homeless. The book is an excellent review of the failings of prior studies of the homeless, a very good primer on ethnographic research methods, and finally, as a brief introuction to the homeless themselves via their own words.
Marvasti picks up on nuance and tells a fine story. The book is a good read without sacrificing complexity-a rare combination-in an area that is rife with simplification or treated as if there were obvious culprits or conditions to blame. Marvasti's is also a morally committed story, with the author's responsibility to his subjects' lives clearly coming through. Quite an achievement!
