HTML:<b><i>NEW YORK TIMES </i>BESTSELLER • WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE • NAMED ONE OF <i>TIME</i>’S TEN BEST NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE DECADE • One of the most acclaimed books of our time, this modern classic “has set a new standard for reporting on poverty” (Barbara Ehrenreich, <i>The New York Times Book Review</i>).</b><br /> In <i>Evicted</i>, Princeton sociologist and MacArthur “Genius” Matthew Desmond follows eight families in Milwaukee as they each struggle to keep a roof over their heads. Hailed as “wrenching and revelatory” (<i>The Nation</i>), “vivid and unsettling” (<i>New York Review of Books</i>), <i>Evicted </i>transforms our understanding of poverty and economic exploitation while providing fresh ideas for solving one of twenty-first-century America’s most devastating problems. Its unforgettable scenes of hope and loss remind us of the centrality of home, without which nothing else is possible. <br /> <b>NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY President Barack Obama • <i>The New York Times Book Review • The Boston Globe • The Washington Post • </i>NPR<i> • Entertainment Weekly • The New Yorker • Bloomberg • Esquire • BuzzFeed • Fortune • San Francisco Chronicle • Milwaukee Journal Sentinel • St. Louis Post-Dispatch • Politico • The Week • </i>Chicago Public Library <i>• BookPage • Kirkus Reviews • Library Journal •  Publishers Weekly • Booklist • Shelf Awareness</i></b><br /> <b>WINNER OF: The National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction • The PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction • The Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction • The Hillman Prize for Book Journalism • The PEN/New England Award • The <i>Chicago Tribune </i>Heartland Prize</b><br /> <b>FINALIST FOR THE <i>LOS ANGELES TIMES</i> BOOK PRIZE AND THE KIRKUS PRIZE</b><br /> “<i>Evicted </i>stands among the very best of the social justice books.”<b>—Ann Patchett, author of <i>Bel Canto </i>and <i>Commonwealth </i></b><br /> “Gripping and moving—tragic, too.”<b>—Jesmyn Ward, author of <i>Salvage the Bones</i></b><br /> <br /> “<i>Evicted </i>is that rare work that has something genuinely new to say about poverty.”<b><i>—San Francisco Chronicle</i></b>.
