Book Synopsis Hobos to Street People by : Art Hazelwood
Download or read book Hobos to Street People written by Art Hazelwood. This book was released on 2011. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homeless people have been a part of American society throughout the nation's history, but two of the worst eras of homelessness were that of the Great Depression and the past thirty years from the late 1970s onward. How have artists in these two eras responded to homelessness? How have they used their art to address the issues surrounding poverty? And how has their approach changed? New perspectives are brought to light by bringing together this art from two different periods. The sometimes nostalgic view of the Depression when contrasted with the reality of poverty today allows a reevaluation of views of homelessness. The effects of government policy, economic dislocation, war, and displacement on homelessness are explored. The book is based on the traveling exhibition of the same name.

Download or read book Down on Their Luck written by David A. Snow. This book was released on 1993-02-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Snow and Leon Anderson show us the wretched face of homelessness in late twentieth-century America in countless cities across the nation. Through hundreds of hours of interviews, participant observation, and random tracking of homeless people through social service agencies in Austin, Texas. Snow and Anderson reveal who the homeless are, how they live, and why they have ended up on the streets. Debunking current stereotypes of the homeless. Down on Their Luck sketches a portrait of men and women who are highly adaptive, resourceful, and pragmatic. Their survival is a tale of human resilience and determination, not one of frailty and disability.
