In 2016, Desmond introduced his book Evicted with a provocative plot about poverty in American society and its relation to housing policies and economic changes.
The Worth of Evicted in Modern American Society The eviction crisis has already challenged the United States, and the examples introduced by Desmond in Evicted prove the role sociological theory and social class play in its understanding. Therefore, the evaluation of social class differences seems to be an appropriate concept to enhance the discussion. The chosen book is not about poverty only but about people who contribute to and suffer from this social condition. In this paper, the analysis of Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City by Matthew Desmond will be developed through the prism of sociological theory and its paradigms.
