Описание: Homelessness has been recognized as a serious problem in Japan since the 1990s, but the dominant model of a "homeless person" has been that of an unemployed male labourer - a model that has largely excluded women, who experience homelessness in different forms.
This study gives the homeless women of Japan a voice at last. Based on extensive fieldwork, the author paints a vivid picture of the unique experiences of homeless women living in a diverse range of environments. By introducing a gender perspective to the analytic framework and challenging the conception of the homeless individual as a rational, autonomous subject, the author invites a critical reconsideration of homeless studies and of public policy.
Street outreach workers comb public places such as parks, vacant lots, and abandoned waterfronts to search for young people who are living out in public spaces, if not always in the public eye. Street Kids opens a window to the largely hidden world of street youth, drawing on their detailed and compelling narratives to give new insight into the experiences of youth homelessness and youth outreach. Kristina Gibson argues that the enforcement of quality of life ordinances in New York City has spurred hyper-mobility amongst the city’s street youth population and has serious implications for social work with homeless youth. Youth in motion have become socially invisible and marginalized from public spaces where social workers traditionally contact them, jeopardizing their access to the already limited opportunities to escape street life. The culmination of a multi-year ethnographic investigation into the lives of street outreach workers and ‘their kids’ on the streets of New York City, Street Kids illustrates the critical role that public space regulations and policing play in shaping the experience of youth homelessness and the effectiveness of street outreach.

Описание: MacDonald and Roebuck have written an excellent book on the causes and conditions of youth homelessness in Canada. A key contribution of this work is that they not only explore the challenges that young people are faced with in this situation, but the strengths, assets and resilience they bring when facing such adverse life circumstances. For those interested in youth homelessness and what to do about it, this is a must read. - Stephen Gaetz, Founder of the Canadian Observatory on Homelessness In Staying Alive While Living the Life, Sue-Ann MacDonald and Benjamin Roebuck unpack the realities of living on the streets from the perspective of homeless youth. While much is written about at-risk youth, most literature on youth homelessness reduces their lives to flattened images with little room for the diverse, complex and individual nature of their experiences. Challenging the dominant youth-at-risk conversation by putting forward a framework of survival and resilience, MacDonald and Roebuck illustrate the ways that young people who experience homelessness demonstrate tremendous resilience when facing adversity, social exclusion and various forms of oppression. Drawing on conversations with homeless youth, this book focuses both on the external constraints imposed on their lives as well as the ways young people understand their circumstances and their approaches to problem solving. The result is a nuanced analysis that puts human agency at its centre, allowing readers to explore the challenges young people face and the internal and external resources they draw upon when making decisions about their lives.

Chapter 1: Introduction
This chapter is composed of three main sections. First, I provide a brief overview of the history of HIV in Pakistan, and how the epidemic is linked with high-risk population groups including injecting drug users, sex workers, men who have sex with men, and transgender individuals. I, then, describe while internationally there is a clear link between homelessness and HIV, there is a dearth of social scientific research into sexual risk-taking among homeless young people (HYP) in Pakistan. Second, I describe the overarching aim of my research, which is to explore the lived experiences of HYP in Pakistan. I explore why young people become homeless, what contributes to their engagement in sex work despite knowing that it is illegal and carries an immense stigma, and why homeless young people engage in sexual risk-taking even while being cognisant of the risk of HIV/STIs. Third, I describe the organisation of the book.
Chapter 2: Understanding homelessness
As HYP have lives characterised by a lack of resources, this can contribute to their decisions to engage in sex work. To have a better understanding of HYP's sexual practices, I explore factors contributing to their homelessness in the first place. In the first section, I explore the agency/structure-divide evident in many previous explanations of youth homelessness. My analysis suggests that rather than bifurcating the experiences of homelessness into micro- or macro-level forces, homelessness might be differently understood as an outcome of the combination of these antecedents. In the second section, I explore the strategies, HYP adopt to negotiate the adversity of homelessness. My analysis suggests that HYP are agential and resourceful, as they work to improve their financial status and construct a social and emotional support mechanism, although they often engage in social undesirable practices (i.e., sex work, drug dealing, theft, and panhandling).
Chapter 3: Understanding sexual behaviour
While HYP are often seen to be engaging in sexual risk-taking due to their limited knowledge about HIV/STIs, some studies suggest knowledge of HIV/STIs may not always help, as social structural forces can neutralise it, and can provide contexts of sexual risk-taking. To understand this complexity, first, I analyse biomedical, epidemiological, and public health research and explore why 'lay' beliefs about HIV/STI and sex exist despite advancement in biomedical knowledge and health promotion. Second, I investigate where these 'lay' beliefs about sex and HIV/STIs originate. Third, I review social psychology studies to examine the extent to which biomedical knowledge about HIV/STIs can help young people to practise safer sex. This review indicates that explanations of whether beliefs impact sexual behaviour are inconsistent, with some of them providing hints of how social structural forces can constrain individuals' sexual behaviour. Finally, I use sociological and anthropological research to explore the relationships between structural conditions and sexual behaviour.
Chapter 4: The theory of capital and social practice
In developing a study that can examine the relationships between various social structural- and interpersonal-level forces, it is critical to draw on a social theory that has a relational view of social practice. Therefore, the theoretical framework adopted is based on the constructivist sociology of Pierre Bourdieu. The first section describes the main tenets of Bourdieusian theory, including how the interrelationship between social fields, habitus, and capital produces social practice. The second section provides a detailed description of social fields, which are social spaces in which individuals navigate their social lives by accumulating and deploying various forms of capital. The third secti
Sharing the daily struggles of children and families residing in transitional situations (homelessness or because of risk of homelessness, being connected with the child welfare system, or being new immigrants in temporary housing), this text recommends strategies for delivering mental health and intensive case-management services that maintain family integrity and stability. Based on work undertaken at the Center for the Vulnerable Child in Oakland, California, which has provided mental health and intensive case management to children and families living in transition for more than two decades, this volume outlines culturally sensitive practices to engage families that feel disrespected by the assistance of helping professionals or betrayed by their forgotten promises. Chapters discuss the Center's staffers' attempt to trace the influence of power, privilege, and beliefs on their education and their approach to treatment. Many U.S. children living in impoverished transitional situations are of color and come from generations of poverty, and the professionals they encounter are white, middle-class, and college-educated. The Center's work to identify the influences or obstacles interfering with services for this target population is therefore critical to formulating more effective treatment, interaction, and care.
