As homelessness continues to plague North America and also becomes
more widespread in Europe, anthropologists turn their attention to
solving the puzzle of why people in some of the most advanced
technological societies in the world are found huddled in a subway
tunnel, squatting in a vacant building, living in a shelter, or
camping out in an abandoned field or on a beach. Anthropologists
have a long tradition of working in poverty subcultures and have
been able to contribute answers to some of the puzzles of
homelessness through their ability to enter the culture of the
homeless without some of the preconceptions of other disciplines.
The authors, anthropologists from the U.S.A. and Canada, offer us
an analysis of homelessness that is grounded in anthropological
research in North America and throughout the world. Both have
in-depth experience through working in communities of the homeless
and present us withthe results of their own work and with that of
their colleagues.
