{"product_id":"invisible-nation-richard-schweid-9780520292673","title":"Invisible Nation: Homeless Families in America","description":"\"By the second or third day that you're homeless, in the car with all your clothes, your pots and pans, everything, having to wash yourself in a public rest room, you logically start to feel dirty. You prefer to use the drive-through [at fast-food restaurants] where no one will see you. You begin to hide your family.\"--\u003ci\u003eInvisible Nation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003eMore than 2.5 million children are homeless in the United States every year. In every state, children are living packed in with relatives, or in cars, or motel rooms, or emergency shelters, the only constant being too many people in too little space. In a vividly-written narrative, experienced journalist Richard Schweid takes us on a spirited journey through this \"invisible nation,\" giving us front-row dispatches. Based on in-depth reporting from five major cities, \u003ci\u003eInvisible Nation\u003c\/i\u003e looks backward at the historical context of family homelessness, as well as forward at what needs to be done to alleviate this widespread, although often hidden, poverty. \u003ci\u003eInvisible Nation\u003c\/i\u003e is a riveting must-read for anyone who wants to know what is happening to the millions of families living at the bottom of the economy. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Schweid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520292677\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520292673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Richard Schweid","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919956246783,"sku":"9780520292673","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2f7c0aa2-9568-4f69-9662-cb0561dd5cb2.jpg?v=1680812843","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/invisible-nation-richard-schweid-9780520292673","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
