At the conclusion of the twentieth century, the US economy was
booming, but the gap between the rich and poor widened
significantly in the 1990s, poverty rates among women and children
skyrocketed, and there was an unprecedented rise in familial
homelessness. Based on a four-year ethnographic study, Anne R.
Roschelle examines how socially structured race, class, and gender
inequality contributed to the rise in family homelessness and the
devastating consequences for parents and their children. Struggling
in the Land of Plenty analyzes the appalling conditions under which
homeless women and children live, the violence endemic to their
lives, the role of the welfare state in perpetrating poverty, and
their never-ending struggle for survival.
