Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Do you know what it's really like to be a young homeless person? WITH NO DIRECTION HOME: HOMELESS YOUTH ON THE ROAD AND IN THE STREETS takes you into their world, their living conditions, and their street experiences. Plus, it takes a hard look at fictive kin experiences and drug addiction. Learn how to move from compassion to rapport with this incredible ethnography textbook. Book News Annotation:An anthropologist based in New York City, Finkelstein did two summers
of field work among street kids in the East Village, and presents her
findings qualitatively, much of it in the voices of the youths
themselves. She focuses on what leads kids to the streets and what
they experience there.
