What Evicted is like to read
An immersive, ground-level immersion in Milwaukee's poorest blocks that reads with the narrative propulsion of literary reportage while building a systemic argument about eviction as an engine of poverty. Emotionally heavy and morally urgent without sacrificing the granular texture of eight real lives. Best for: readers of narrative nonfiction who want data-backed reporting told through intimate ethnography.
