Inhaltsangabe

The causes of homelessness are frequently associated with individualist explanations, without examining the broader political inequalities that shape how social problems such as homelessness are constructed and responded to. In reflecting on factors such as Indigeneity, race, ethnicity, gender, class, age, sexuality, ability and other markers of identity, Zufferey establishes a pathbreaking intersectional framework for understanding social work and homelessness. The book challenges how homelessness is represented in social work research, policy and practice, through the stories of people experiencing homelessness.
