PERSPECTIVES ON HOMELESSNESS GEBUNDEN

As growing economic and racial inequality continues to shape American society  homelessness
remains an urgent issue. Embedded in American history  and more recently exacerbated by the
2008 financial and housing crisis  a new wave of homelessness has emerged as the U.S. has faced
surging evictions throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The essays in this volume explore
homelessness both as the literal state of being unsheltered and as the modern and contemporary
condition of being and or feeling estranged from society. They also reflect on the meaning of
home in relation to race  class  gender  migration and mobility in an American and
transnational context. Contributions include interdisciplinary research that investigates
representations of home and homelessness in modern and contemporary fiction  film  and
videogames  as well as philosophical  historical  political and architectural discussions of
homelessness.
