Summary

omeless people have been a part of American society throughout the nation's history, but two of the worst eras of homelessness were that of the Great Depression and the past thirty years from the late 1970s onward. How have artists in these two eras responded to homelessness? How have they used their art to address the issues surrounding poverty? And how has their approach changed? New perspectives are brought to light by bringing together this art from two different periods. The sometimes nostalgic view of the Depression when contrasted with the reality of poverty today allows a reevaluation of views of homelessness. The effects of government policy, economic dislocation, war, and displacement on homelessness are explored. The book is based on the traveling exhibition of the same name.
