Dispossessed: How Predatory Bureaucracy Foreclosed on the American Middle Class Volume 44 Hardcover - 2019
by Noelle Stout
From the rear cover
"An important book. Noelle Stout documents the scamming and nefarious actions undertaken by the banks and Wall Street, and how the government refused to help its citizens, saving Wall Street instead. A gripping read."--Dale Maharidge, Professor of Journalism, Columbia University, and author of Someplace Like America: Tales from the New Great Depression "Public anthropology at its finest. Stout shows how in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, those losing their homes--Mexican immigrants, African Americans who had saved for their first house, and middle-class folks moving up--struggled to make sense of what was happening to them as their American dream turned into a Kafkaesque nightmare."--Hugh Gusterson, Professor of Anthropology and International Affairs, George Washington University "A brilliant work that all Americans urgently need to read. Despite the devastating story the book tells, we can feel hopeful: once these forces of destruction and the means of resisting them are understood through Stout's nuanced and insightful ethnography, perhaps they will never again be repeated."--Emily Martin, author of The Meaning of Money in China and the United States "This should become an instant classic: as a teaching text, a powerful and wholly current read, and a signal of anthropological contribution to thinking about debt and obligation."--Don Brenneis, Professor of Anthropology, University of California, Santa Cruz "Dispossessed offers a much-needed and highly readable account of how the foreclosure crisis integral to the 2008 recession played out in everyday life."--Jessica Cattelino, Professor of Anthropology, University of California, Los Angeles
