Love, Sorrow, and Rage: Destitute Women in a Manhattan Residence by Alisse Waterston

 

I became aware of this ethnography through browsing my library catalog. Sociology fascinates me. I am relieved that it wasn't overly scholarly. The language hovered on the boundaries of the laconic and sophisticated.

I read this book on my initiative but largely academics would pursue this book.
