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
