About this title

About the Author

JENNIFER R. WOLCH and MICHAEL J. DEAR are professors of geography at the University of Southern California, codirectors of the Los Angeles Homelessness Project, and authors of several books, including Landscapes of Despair: From Deinstitutionalization to Homelessness.

From the Back Cover

In this book, Jennifer R. Wolch and Michael J. Dear reveal how homelessness happens and why blaming the victim doesn't work or even make sense. Malign Neglect tells the truth about homelessness in America--how the public has chosen to ignore it, how our elected officials prefer not to think about it, how homelessness has become so widespread, and why many of us could become its next victims. It also spells out what professionals and citizen alike can do to make a difference.
