Hailed as &ldquo\;wrenching and revelatory&rdquo\; (The Nation)\, &ldquo\;vivid and unsettling&rdquo\; (New York Review of Books)\, \;Evicted \;deepens our understanding of poverty and economic exploitation while providing fresh ideas for solving one of twenty-first-century America&rsquo\;s most devastating problems. Its unforgettable scenes of hope and loss remind us of the centrality and importance of home. \;
