Checkerboard Square: Culture and Resistance in a Homeless Community

by David Wagner

This book shows how the poor often become homeless through resistance to the discipline of the workplace, authoritarian families, and the bureaucratic social welfare system. It also shows how street people develop their own self-consciousness, culture, and alternative community.
