あらすじ・解説
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction, 2017
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Evicted by Matthew Desmond, read by Dion Graham.
Arleen spends nearly all her money on rent but is kicked out with her kids in Milwaukee's coldest winter for years. Doreen's home is so filthy her family call it 'the rat hole'. Lamar, a wheelchair-bound ex-soldier, tries to work his way out of debt for his boys. Scott, a nurse turned addict, lives in a gutted-out trailer. This is their world. And this is the 21st century: where fewer and fewer people can afford a simple roof over their head.
From abandoned slums to shelters, eviction courts to ghettoes, Matthew Desmond spent years living with and recording the stories of those struggling to survive - yet who won't give up.
A work of love, care and humanity, Evicted reminds us why, without a home, nothing else is possible. It is one of the most necessary books of our time.

Amazing study of inner city dynamics
The author follows several families, reports their stories, and points to facts that contribute to their decisions which prolong their poverty. This is an important book that provides points revelation to the debate about poverty and points to eviction's role in it. The Epilogue itself is worth the price of the book.

a great both sides of the story
well researched, one minute you feel sorry for the tenant then they do something stupid and put themselves in an even worst position. As a non American I am baffled that the police want landlords to evict tenants that phone 911 to report someone being threatened as they consider it a nuisance call , hence people getting stabbed or putting up with drug dealers rather than get evicted, very sad. landlords who don't fix broken water/heater etc also terrible.
Everybody deserves a helping hand if they are down and a $1000 deposit would have made a huge difference to the people in this book (especially when banks were bailed out with billions) but how many time do you help the same people? so of these people just don't seem to have the life skills to cope, but then they help out another homeless person .
this book makes me realize how bless my life is .

Close to home.
Altho based In America these stories are as true for us brits as they r for the Americans alike and this book really touches home as to how easy things can go wrong for any one. And how hard with out support at the right time it can be to stand on ur own two feet again. Loved this book from cover to cover. X

An economics book that makes you cry.
This is a really important book. I am not the kind of person to write reviews or tell you what to read, but I have learned far more from this book than most. Believe the hype.
Performance was also outstanding. Well done Dion. Easily one of the best narrated books I have found on Audible.

Great study of the impact of lack of affordable housing and the complex problems of people from poorer backgrounds in America. I struggled a bit to follow the different stories - again, I might have found it easier to read in print than on audio - but the epilogue pulls everything together into a compelling argument.

Grim, detailed outlook on the American poor
Absolute kudos to Matthew Desmond for his detailed look into the heart of America's troubled capitalist system. His research and first-hand accounts of people living in poverty in Milwaukee is desperate, heartbreaking and dire, at the same time he offers an alternative to attempt to remedy an age old discriminatory system.
Eight individuals and families in this book represent an ongoing endemic situation that has perpetuated over the last century. Desmond explains circumstances that many ie. institutions are familiar with but choose to not deal with. Definitely deserved of the Pulitzer Prize.

believe the hype
I definitely didn't expect it, but this book was both educational and riveting. The book feels like a story and you want to find out what happens next but when you finish it you will be left thinking about the fact this is all real.

Best book I’ve read in ages
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was both informative and entertaining. The narrator had a lovely smooth and authoritative voice. The research the writer put into this work was extraordinary and the way he brought the stories to life is to be commended. I recommend it for anyone who has an interest in society, relationships and the struggle of being human.

Excellent. Well worth reading/listening to
Excellent book. Informative, thought provoking, heart wrenching and inspiring.
I would consider starting with chapter 26 and then reverting to chapters 1-25.

Must listen!
This impeccably researched book about the experience of poverty in the United States provides a wake up call on the failures of current economic models. You would be a cold hard character to listen to this book and not appreciate the grinding poverty and totally unfair system that pervades too many people's lives. A call to action to change the way welfare is perceived and provided; everyone deserves the right to safe and secure housing at an affordable cost.

Loved this work
I really don’t know what to say about this incredible piece of work. To say that it has stayed with me for a very long time, or that I’ve learnt so much, I had no idea, or I’m devastated by the stories - these words don’t come close to describing my experience. Thank you Matthew Desmond for your work. I feel humbled. The epilogue was really incredible too. I’m so glad you added your personal chapter; it made complete sense.

Well researched & powerful
Incredibly devastating piece - clearly showing the forces of inequality, race and poverty, in the operation of low cost private rental. Powerful case for urgent reform.
