Needed by Nobody by Tova Hjdestrand
This book offers a nuanced portrait of homelessness in St. Petersburg. Based on ethnographic work at railway stations, soup kitchens, and other places where the homeless gather, it describes the material and mental world of this marginalized population.
"Needed by Nobody is a wonderful book that has much to contribute to discussions in urban anthropology and sociology, Russian studies, homelessness, alcoholism, and psychologyI have enormous respect for the fieldwork that Tova Höjdestrand conducted for this admirable ethnography. I read every word with great interest." -- Dale Pesmen, author of Russia and Soul: An Exploration
Tova Höjdestrand is Lecturer in the Department of Social Anthropology at Stockholm University.
