Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City
by Matthew Desmond
A Harvard sociologist embeds for years with eight families and two landlords in Milwaukee, and turns eviction from a dry statistic into a human catastrophe you cannot look away from. Reported nonfiction that reads with the propulsion of a novel and the moral weight of a verdict.
