Homeless Voices: Stigma, Space, and Social Media argues that the
best sources for how to address issues of homelessness are people
experiencing homelessness themselves, particularly as they express
their experiences through personal blogs and memoirs. Mary L.
Schuster discusses how space and land have been historically denied
to marginalized communities who still feel the effects to this day,
along with examining the conditions and limitations of common
spaces often assigned to those experiencing homelessness,
culminating in an analysis of how the novel coronavirus (COVID-19)
has impacted homelessness. Schuster focuses on two vulnerable
groups that often experience homelessness: victims of domestic
violence and unaccompanied youth, particularly those who struggle
with gender identity and unstable housing. This book includes a
variety of case studies, examining public meetings and court
decisions, public policy symposiums, and personal interviews, and
ultimately finds that intersectionality-specifically age, race,
gender identity, and ethnicity-plays a large part in understanding
and experiencing homelessness. By shifting our attention to the
diverse voices who experience homelessness themselves, Schuster
claims, we can finally begin to remedy this crisis. Scholars of
media studies, sociology, and urban development will find this book
particularly useful.
