The Other America

The book so far is about the homeless of America and how they are invisible to the government. The poor numbering 50,000,000 have no voice and have no face. Since the poor are not seen and are considered invisible they do not see as well. There view is narrower because of this having less and less hope as time goes on. One other reason why the poor stay poor is because just like everyone else they become sick just like everyone else but because of poor medical care they are sick longer. So they lose wages and job opportunities.

  1. How does the social, economic, emotional and political situation that Harrington describes remind us all of our current condition?
