Evicted

Genre and style

According to Jennifer Senior from The New York Times, Evicted "is a regal hybrid of ethnography and policy reporting".[8] To complete this book, Desmond conducted fieldwork in Milwaukee from 2008 to 2009; he first lived in a trailer park known as Central Mobile Home Park to observe the residents, followed by a rooming house on the north side of the city run by Sherrena and her husband Quentin.[8][9] After interviewing Milwaukee renters and defendants in eviction courts and analyzing court records, Desmond began drafting Evicted.[9]
