Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City

This book was so revealing, raw, and gripping. This book gives real life proof that racial discrimination is still a huge issue in America, and that landlords in major cities use poor people's desperation to get them to rent run down, dirty, and dysfunctional homes and apartments for twice the actual value of the apartment. This book also reveals the lack of effort or urgency that has been given to the housing issue in this country. Desmond did a great job exposing these issues and giving raw depictions of people dealing with these issues in the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
