“Evicted” marks the culmination of Matthew Desmond’s years of research and work in the poorest areas of Milwaukee. The result is a heartbreaking and enlightening look at poverty and the struggle for thousands of people to make and keep a home. ”Evicted” does more than just look at impersonal statistics, it steps into the homes of several families as they struggle to make ends meet. By getting to know the people behind the numbers you are drawn into the pain and suffering of the powerless and voiceless. It’s a powerful well-written story that will remain with you long after you put it down.
