| Zusammenfassung: | The Man in the Dog Park offers the reader a rare window into homeless life. Spurred by a personal relationship with a homeless man who became her co-author, Cathy A. Small takes a compelling look at what it means and what it takes to be homeless. Interviews and encounters with dozens of homeless people lead us into a world that most have never seen. We travel as an intimate observer into the places that many homeless frequent, including a community shelter, a day labor agency, a panhandling corner, a pawn shop, and a HUD housing office. Through these personal stories, we witness the obstacles that homeless people face, and the ingenuity it takes to negotiate life without a home. The Man in the Dog Park points to the ways that our own cultural assumptions and blind spots are complicit in US homelessness and contribute to the degree of suffering that homeless people face. At the same time, Small, Kordosky and Moore show us how our own sense of connection and compassion can bring us into touch with the actions that will lessen homelessness and bring greater humanity to the experience of those who remain homeless. The raw emotion of The Man in the Dog Park will forever change your appreciation for, and understanding of, a life so many deal with outside of the limelight of contemporary society |

Small with Jason Kordosky and Ross Moore Ithaca ; London Cornell University Press [2020] © 2020 1 Online-Ressource (viii, 186 Seiten) Illustration txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier The Man in the Dog Park offers the reader a rare window into homeless life. Spurred by a personal relationship with a homeless man who became her co-author, Cathy A. Small takes a compelling look at what it means and what it takes to be homeless. Interviews and encounters with dozens of homeless people lead us into a world that most have never seen. We travel as an intimate observer into the places that many homeless frequent, including a community shelter, a day labor agency, a panhandling corner, a pawn shop, and a HUD housing office. Through these personal stories, we witness the obstacles that homeless people face, and the ingenuity it takes to negotiate life without a home. The Man in the Dog Park points to the ways that our own cultural assumptions and blind spots are complicit in US homelessness and contribute to the degree of suffering that homeless people face. At the same time, Small, Kordosky and Moore show us how our own sense of connection and compassion can bring us into touch with the actions that will lessen homelessness and bring greater humanity to the experience of those who remain homeless. The raw emotion of The Man in the Dog Park will forever change your appreciation for, and understanding of, a life so many deal with outside of the limelight of contemporary society Memoir Social Work homelessness, homeless shelters, poverty, ethnography, affordable housing, stigma, veterans, compassion SOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural & Social bisacsh Homeless persons United States Homelessness United States Obdachlosigkeit (DE-588)4042870-9 gnd rswk-swf Soziale Situation (DE-588)4077575-6 gnd rswk-swf Obdachloser (DE-588)4042868-0 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Obdachlosigkeit (DE-588)4042870-9 s Obdachloser (DE-588)4042868-0 s Soziale Situation (DE-588)4077575-6 s DE-604 Kordosky, Jason Verfasser aut Moore, Ross Verfasser aut Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-1-5017-4878-3 https://doi.org/10.7591/9781501748806 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
