Описание: Young Homeless People takes a broad approach to the distressing phenomenon of youth homelessness. While politicians, researchers and the media focus on the more visibly homeless - those sleeping rough in city centres or staying in hostels - this book also considers the young homeless hidden in local communities.
Описание: Reviews a century of history to tell the story of the `lost` boys who struggled to survive on the St. Louis`s streets as it evolved from a booming late-nineteenth-century industrial centre to a troubled mid-twentieth-century metropolis.

Описание: This ethnographic exploration of contemporary spaces of homelessness takes an expanded view of homeless space, threading together experiences of organizational spaces, routes taken through the city and the occupation of public space. Through engaging with participants' accounts of movement and place, the book argues that young homeless people become fixed in mobility, a condition that impacts on both everyday life and possible futures. Based on an innovative multi-method study of a day centre in London for young homeless people, the book contextualizes spaces of homelessness within the social relations and flows of people that produce the world city. The book considers how the biographical and everyday trajectories of young homeless people intersect with place attachments and forms of governance to produce urban homeless spaces. It provides a new angle on the city made by movement, foregrounding the impact of mobilities shaped by loss, violence and the search for opportunity. The book draws on mental maps, photography, interviews and observation in order to produce an engaging and rich ethnographic account of young homeless people in the city.

Описание: StreetWays: Chronicling the Homeless in Miami is a collection of interviews with 28 homeless individuals living in downtown Miami and Miami Beach. Besides extensive photographs of these people and their lives on the street, the book also includes interviews with social service providers, as well as a detailed analysis of homelessness in the United States and more specifically in Miami. The work concludes with a policy analysis and suggestions for addressing issues of homelessness in Miami and the nation.StreetWays attempts to make clear how and why homelessness occurs, and what the actual lives and experiences of the homeless are about. Through extensive interviews and extensive documentary photographs, a selected group of homeless Miamians lose their invisibility as their experiences, needs and aspirations are reported. The book calls for a better understanding of the experience of homelessness places such as Miami, and of the need to understand homelessness as an issue of diversity and human rights.

Описание:
Chapter 1: Introduction
This chapter is composed of three main sections. First, I provide a brief overview of the history of HIV in Pakistan, and how the epidemic is linked with high-risk population groups including injecting drug users, sex workers, men who have sex with men, and transgender individuals. I, then, describe while internationally there is a clear link between homelessness and HIV, there is a dearth of social scientific research into sexual risk-taking among homeless young people (HYP) in Pakistan. Second, I describe the overarching aim of my research, which is to explore the lived experiences of HYP in Pakistan. I explore why young people become homeless, what contributes to their engagement in sex work despite knowing that it is illegal and carries an immense stigma, and why homeless young people engage in sexual risk-taking even while being cognisant of the risk of HIV/STIs. Third, I describe the organisation of the book.
Chapter 2: Understanding homelessness
As HYP have lives characterised by a lack of resources, this can contribute to their decisions to engage in sex work. To have a better understanding of HYP's sexual practices, I explore factors contributing to their homelessness in the first place. In the first section, I explore the agency/structure-divide evident in many previous explanations of youth homelessness. My analysis suggests that rather than bifurcating the experiences of homelessness into micro- or macro-level forces, homelessness might be differently understood as an outcome of the combination of these antecedents. In the second section, I explore the strategies, HYP adopt to negotiate the adversity of homelessness. My analysis suggests that HYP are agential and resourceful, as they work to improve their financial status and construct a social and emotional support mechanism, although they often engage in social undesirable practices (i.e., sex work, drug dealing, theft, and panhandling).
Chapter 3: Understanding sexual behaviour
While HYP are often seen to be engaging in sexual risk-taking due to their limited knowledge about HIV/STIs, some studies suggest knowledge of HIV/STIs may not always help, as social structural forces can neutralise it, and can provide contexts of sexual risk-taking. To understand this complexity, first, I analyse biomedical, epidemiological, and public health research and explore why 'lay' beliefs about HIV/STI and sex exist despite advancement in biomedical knowledge and health promotion. Second, I investigate where these 'lay' beliefs about sex and HIV/STIs originate. Third, I review social psychology studies to examine the extent to which biomedical knowledge about HIV/STIs can help young people to practise safer sex. This review indicates that explanations of whether beliefs impact sexual behaviour are inconsistent, with some of them providing hints of how social structural forces can constrain individuals' sexual behaviour. Finally, I use sociological and anthropological research to explore the relationships between structural conditions and sexual behaviour.
Chapter 4: The theory of capital and social practice
In developing a study that can examine the relationships between various social structural- and interpersonal-level forces, it is critical to draw on a social theory that has a relational view of social practice. Therefore, the theoretical framework adopted is based on the constructivist sociology of Pierre Bourdieu. The first section describes the main tenets of Bourdieusian theory, including how the interrelationship between social fields, habitus, and capital produces social practice. The second section provides a detailed description of social fields, which are social spaces in which individuals navigate their social lives by accumulating and deploying various forms of capital. The third secti

Описание: Homeless Lives in American Cities explores how the American discourse on homelessness arose from Victorian social and political anxieties about the impacts of immigration and urbanization on the middle class family. It demonstrates how contemporary social work and policy emerge from Victorian cultural attitudes.
