A compelling case for the significance of place in our construction
of self. . . . An engaging and powerful argument.-- "Judith Kenny,
coeditor of The Urban Geography Reader"
A powerful journey through the experiences of homelessness that
sets a new scholarly standard for its synthesis of insight and
empathy. The book documents and defines new ways of understanding
homelessness that are sensitive to the many ways it is embodied.--
"Brendan Gleeson, author of Lifeboat Cities: Making a New
World"
Robinson has crafted a deeply compassionate yet theoretically
sophisticated vantage point from which to embrace the trauma of
being homeless. She charts the implications of loss and
displacement that pervade this condition and advocates not only
political solidarity but also deeply felt research encounters.--
"Robin Kearns, coauthor of Culture/Place/Health"
