Publisher Description:
Utilizing innovative ethnographic research, Swept Up Lives? challenges conventional accounts of urban homelessness to trace the complex and varied attempts to care for homeless people
  • Presents innovative ethnographic research which suggests an important shift in perspective in the analysis and understanding of urban homelessness
  • Emphasizes the ethical and emotional geographies of care embodied and performed within homeless services spaces
  • Suggests that different homelessness 'scenes' develop in different places due to varied historical, political, and cultural responses to the problems faced
