Cast Out by A L Beier
The connections among vagabondage and human labor, mobility, status, and behavior have placed vagrancy at the crossroads of a multitude of political, social, and economic processes. This book considers the shared global heritage of vagrancy laws, homelessness, and the historical processes they accompanied.
"This impressive collection of essays on vagrancy, homelessness, and poverty has truly global historical dimensionsIt covers seven centuries and five continents, has a superb introductory overview, and is comparative social history at its best. It deserves to have a wide readership." "This book will serve as an index of the multivalent nature of current work in social history, literature, and postcolonial studies in vagrancy and homelessness. At the very least, the book provides an indispensible classroom textbook on poverty and vagrancy from a historical perspective." (Enterprise & Society)
