Amster explores the historical and contemporary implications of homelessness as a social and spatial problem, drawing upon academic disciplines and policy concerns ranging from urban geography to legal advocacy. Homeless people find themselves in a struggle to preserve places that are theoretically open to everyone regardless of status. Urban spaces in particular manifest a complex ecology comprised of people, culture, architecture, technology, and the natural environment, expressed through gentrification, redevelopment, and privatization. In this ecology, homeless people are criminalized for performing basic activities such as sitting or sleeping. These trends are evident across the U.S. and internationally, linking local issues with wider forces of globalization.

I appreciated how this book sheds light on the hidden aspects of homelessness, especially in urban settings. The blend of criminalization and social issues is handled well. It's an essential read for activists.

Not What I Expected
I was hoping for a more straightforward take on homelessness, but this book feels more academic than I'd like. The globalization aspect caught me off guard. Good information, just a bit too complex for casual reading.

Great Insights, but Heavy
This book provides great insights into urban ecology and homelessness. However, I found it a bit heavy and academic at times. If you're ready to engage deeply with the subject, it's worth it though!

Important Topics Addressed
I bought this book for my sociology class and it was perfect! The way it discusses the criminalization of homelessness in relation to urban development is crucial for understanding today's society. Highly relevant.
