English text. - "Galano set out on a journey.to show an unseen face of the homeless population in New York City. The thirty-two-year-old Italian photographer was convinced that people in America would be shocked if they saw what he saw on the city sidewalks.that the homeless were not so different from anyone that he knew."--Lynda Richardson, The New York Times For five years, photographer Salvo Galano visited a park near the Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen in New York. There, tens of thousands of homeless men, women, and children have gathered daily for food, friendship, and guidance since its inception in 1982. Galano set up a makeshift studio with a simple burlap backdrop and photographed the fascinating characters he encountered, documenting their stories of love, loss, and survival. Sidewalk Stories, Galano's moving testimony to the power of the human spirit, showcases some of New York City's most remarkable individuals--the homeless--and their integrity and courage despite the stigma of homelessness. Accompanied by mind-boggling, up-to-the-minute statistics on this dire situation, Sidewalk Stories illustrates that homelessness could happen to any of us: Naval Academy cadets, policemen, performers, inventors, grandmothers, families, and the disabled. But as Galano writes, "Homeless does not necessarily mean hopeless." Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9781576871188. Keywords : PHOTOGRAPHY.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the tradition of Matthew Desmond's Evicted, a longtime housing activist presents a vivid and myth-breaking account of why homelessness endures in contemporary America.Millions of people are affected by homelessness, but media pundits and politicians see homelessness as a social work problem, or a matter of personal pathology, or some peculiar subspecies of urban poverty.Informed by the author's own front-line experiences from more than two decades working as an advocate for homeless people in New York City and his work with housing activists across the country. Placeless: Homelessness in the New Gilded Age presents an alternative and innovative, wide-angle view of homelessness and displacement in New York and elsewhere.A tour of the geography of homelessness in New York City, where some 100,000 people a night sleep in the city's shelter system, Markee visits certain city landmarks where homeless New Yorkers struggle to survive:- armories once built to quarter militias who put down worker uprisings - a train tunnel underneath Riverside Park- a grim intake center where infants, children, and families were forced to sleep on office floors- a former psychiatric wing of Bellevue Hospital now sheltering hundreds of homeless men each night- a Manhattan park surrounded by luxury condos where the police routinely harassed homeless street-dwellersBlending historical analysis, urban theory, and the latest policy research, Markee considers homelessness in America as a tragic yet inevitable consequence of economic shifts inaugurated in the Reagan era, worsening inequality and housing affordability, systemic racism, and neoliberal government policies.At a moment where tabloids and politicians use homelessness as an excuse to whip up fear, Placeless is a powerful and moving account of a social problem whose solution is entirely possible.…
