Homeless Voices - Stigma, Space, and Social Media

This book argues that the best sources for how to address the issues of homelessness are people experiencing homelessness themselves, particularly through their personal blogs and memoirs. Moreover, the author examines how stigmatization, metaphorical language, and spatial segregation relating to homelessness serve as tools for systemic oppression.
