I am recently looking for social studies news books. Like Dreamland: I am discovering these hundreds of pages recently, with Sam Quinones' American real stories Opance Epidemic, and Matthew Desmond's poverty and interests in the American city. Many comfort and excitement. Reading books is quite different from reading articles online or reading articles in magazines or newspapers. That is why I experienced different experiences when reading the Ta-Nehisi Coates "World and Me" and his two most famous Atlantic articles.

Banishment of Matthew Desmond: Poverty and interests in American cities are Milwaukee's expulsion, housing and homeless sociological studies. This book conveys the lives of several tenants and landlords to study the impact of housing growth on the poor. Desmond also includes historical background, statistics, and research results to provide a background for his story. Housing is the center of private life, happiness, and stability. Exile is very destructive and the accused is facing problems of property damage, increased poverty and declining quality of housing. Banishment also can disrupt employment and increase depression and addiction. Poverty not only contributes to housing inequality, but also the difference in housing leads to poverty. In addition, families can distinguish between steady poverty, which may be saving and progress, and poverty, which is one from crisis to crisis.
