Increasingly, commentators have lamented the erosion of public space, charting its decline along with the rise of commercialization and privatization. Amster studies the social and spatial implications of homelessness in America. Amster explores the interconnections among: (i) the impetus of development and gentrification; (ii) the enactment of anti-homeless ordinances and regulations; (iii) the material and ideological erosion of public space; (iv) emerging forces of resistance to these trends; and (v) the continuing viability of anti-systemic movements.. A result is the criminalization of homelessness, a phenomenon revealed here through participant observations, informal conversations, and in-depth interviews with street people, city officials, and social service providers
-- Foreword by Jeff Ferrell. "Randall Amster has impressive credentials and an even more impressive commitment to social issues such as homelessness." -- Prescott Daily Courier, December 3, 2004a beautifully incendiary book, a book equal parts erudition and outrage
