Braving the Street: the Anthropology of Homelessness (Book)
Description:
This book offers several different points of view of homelessness. Glasser provides a view from the United States, where homelessness is regarded as an almost intractable problem. Bridgman represents a Canadian perspective, which appears to be less severe in terms of numbers of people affected by homelessness than in the U.S. There are many reviews of this book available as well: see Gill, Tom. 2003.
