Shantytown, Usa: Forgotten Landscapes Of The Working Poor

Shantytowns once occupied a central place in AmericaÆs urban landscape. Lisa Goff shows how these resourceful dwellings were not merely the byproducts of hardship but potent assertions of self-reliance. Their legacy is felt in sites of political activism, from campus shanties protesting apartheid to the tent cities of Occupy Wall Street.
