Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
About the Author Vanessa Oliver is an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology at Mount Allison University. Product Description Based on research that was awarded the Governor General's Academic Gold Medal, Healing Home is an exploration of the lives and health of young women experiencing homelessness. Vanessa Oliver employs an innovative methodology that blends sociology and storytelling practices to investigate these women's access to health services, their understandings of health and health care delivery, and their healthseeking behaviours. Through their life stories, Oliver demonstrates how personal and social experiences shape health outcomes.In contrast to many previous studies that have focused on the deficits of these young people, Healing Home is both youthcentric and youthpositive in its approach: by foregrounding the narratives of the women themselves, Oliver empowers a subsection of the population that traditionally has not had a voice in determining policies that shape their realities. Applying a strong, articulate, and systemic analysis to ontheground narratives, Oliver is able to offer fresh, incisive recommendations for health and social service providers with the potential to effect realworld change for this marginalized population. Review 'Healing Home is a book of high quality on all dimensions theoretical, methodological, substantive, and technical. Vanessa Oliver's focus on 'homeless' young women in Canada, as well as her provision of space for them to tell their stories, is unique: despite the everproliferating literatures on homelessness, even feminist researchers have paid very little attention to youth who are inadequately housed or note housed at all, and considerably less attention has been devoted to female than to male youth in that situation. Oliver is to be commended for conducting this muchneeded, groundbreaking exploratory study that will provide a solid foundation for future research on 'homeless' young women. She makes a compelling case for the urgent need for decisionmakers at all levels to elicit the perceptions, experiences, and recommendations of those who will be targeted by their legislation and policies.'
