This essay examines the narrative and representational tactics of Matthew Desmond's Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City (2016). Rather than read this book solely in terms of its findings, this essay argues that Desmond attempts to stylistically embody the relationship between market culture, eviction, and the political delegitimation of the poor. Evicted also reworks the sociological “community study” by refashioning literary templates from writers such as Jacob Riis, Charles Dickens, Jane Jacobs, and Hannah Arendt. By fusing such debts together, Evicted powerfully connects its account of eviction's toll on the broader but too often overlooked relationship between poverty and citizenship.

市场和参与者：在马修·德斯蒙德的《被驱逐者》中策划贫困和公民身份

本文考察了马修·戴斯蒙德的叙事和再现策略被驱逐：美国城市的贫困与利润（2016 年）。本文认为戴斯蒙德试图从风格上体现市场文化、驱逐和穷人的政治合法性之间的关系，而不是仅仅根据其发现来阅读本书。被驱逐还通过改造雅各布·里斯、查尔斯·狄更斯、简·雅各布斯和汉娜·阿伦特等作家的文学模板来改造社会学“社区研究”。通过将这些债务融合在一起，被驱逐有力地将其对驱逐造成的损失的描述与贫困和公民身份之间更广泛但经常被忽视的关系联系起来。
