Evicted

Desmond’s detailed storytelling sheds light on a systemic issue often hidden behind closed doors. I'm curious what motivated him to highlight eviction's role in urban poverty.

The stories and data made me think about how eviction seems almost unavoidable for many. Is this cycle something residents can break, or is it built into the system?

The book weaves individual lives with research beautifully. I wonder what process he used to select these particular stories and craft the narrative.
