Skid Row In American Cities (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258330941)

Skid Row In American Cities is a non-fiction book written by Donald Joseph Bogue that explores the concept of skid row, a term used to describe a specific area of a city where homeless people and other marginalized individuals tend to congregate. The book examines the history and evolution of skid rows in American cities, from their origins in the late 19th century to the present day. Bogue draws on a wide range of sources, including government reports, newspaper articles, and personal interviews, to provide a comprehensive look at the social, economic, and political factors that have contributed to the growth and persistence of skid rows. The book also explores the various efforts that have been made over the years to address the problems associated with skid rows, including urban renewal projects, social welfare programs, and community organizing initiatives. Overall, Skid Row In American Cities is a thought-provoking and informative examination of a complex and often misunderstood aspect of American urban life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
