In the Pulitzer Prize-winning Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City, Princeton sociology professor Matthew Desmond studies the subject of eviction as a product of the relationship between the rich and the poor. Exploring the issue of housing stability from the perspective of those with and without power, Desmond follows two landlords who own rental property worth millions of dollars and their less affluent tenants. Personal stories, statistical analysis, and history combine to present a portrait of the tension that emerges between the accumulation of wealth and the right to a safe and stable home.
