onto the national stage as an expert on contemporary American poverty with the publication of his Pulitzer Prize winning bestseller Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City. Combining years of embedded fieldwork with painstakingly gathered data, Evicted transformed our understanding of inequity and economic exploitation in America.<\/p><p>Even in the most desolate areas of American cities, evictions used to be rare. But today, most poor renting families are spending more than half of their income on housing, and eviction has become ordinary, especially for single mothers. In vivid, intimate prose, Desmond takes us into the poorest neighborhoods of Milwaukee to tell the story of eight families on the edge: Arleen is a single mother trying to raise her two sons on the $20 a month she has left after paying for their rundown apartment. Scott is a gentle nurse consumed by a heroin addiction. Lamar, a man with no legs and a neighborhood full of boys to look after, tries to work his way out of debt. Vanetta participates in a botched stickup after her hours are cut. All are spending almost everything they have on rent, and all have fallen behind.<\/p><p><span class=\"s1\">As we see families forced into shelters, squalid apartments, or more dangerous neighborhoods, we bear witness to the human cost of America\u2019s vast inequality\u2014and to people\u2019s determination and intelligence in the face of hardship. Along with the Pulitzer,\u00a0<em>Evicted<\/em>\u00a0won the National Books Critics Circle Award, the Andrew Carnegie Medal, the PEN\/John Kenneth Galbraith Award, the Heartland Prize, and more, and was named one of the Best Books of 2016 by nearly three dozen outlets, including\u00a0<em>The New York Times<\/em>,\u00a0<em>The Washington Post<\/em>,\u00a0<em>The Boston<\/em>\u00a0<em>Globe<\/em>,<em>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>The\u00a0Wall Street Journal<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>Desmond\u2019s latest book, the instant #1\u00a0<em>New York Times\u00a0<\/em>bestseller\u00a0<em>Poverty, by America\u00a0<\/em>investigates why the United States, the richest country on earth, has more poverty than any other advanced democracy.\u00a0 Why does this land of plenty allow one in every eight of its children to go without basic necessities, permit scores of its citizens to live and die on the streets, and authorize its corporations to pay poverty wages?<\/p><p>In clear and compelling prose, Desmond draws on on history, research, and original reporting to conclude that poverty persists in this nation because the rest of us benefit from it. Those of us who are financially secure knowingly and unknowingly exploit the poor, driving down their wages while forcing them to overpay for housing and access to cash and credit. Prioritizing the subsidization of our wealth over the alleviation of poverty, our welfare state that gives the most to those who need the least. And we stockpile opportunity in exclusive communities, creating zones of concentrated riches alongside those of concentrated despair. Praised by\u00a0<em>Esquire\u00a0<\/em>as \u201canother paradigm-shifting inquiry into America\u2019s dark heart,\u201d\u00a0<em>Poverty, by America\u00a0<\/em>introduces Desmond\u2019s startlingly original and ambitious case for ending poverty: he calls on us to become poverty abolitionists, engaged in a politics of collective belonging to usher in a new age of shared prosperity and, at last, true freedom.<\/p><p><span class=\"s1\">Desmond is the Maurice P.
