We have selected 
Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City 
by Matthew Desmond 
as our choice for our first book club!
October 18, 2016
1:30 p.m.
We will meet on the AISC Campus
 Location to be determined

In this brilliant, heartbreaking book, Matthew Desmond takes us into the poorest neighborhoods of Milwaukee, Wisconsin to tell the story of eight families on the edge. Based on years of embedded fieldwork and painstakingly gathered data, this masterful book transforms our understanding of extreme poverty and economic exploitation while providing fresh ideas for solving a devastating, uniquely American problem. Its unforgettable scenes of hope and loss remind us of the centrality of home, without which nothing else is possible.

We will be joining the Go Big Read program sponsored by the University of Wisconsin - Madison. The book is fairly new and only available in hardcover. 

The price through Amazon.in is 1500 rupees. I am also going to check with Starmark at Phoenix Mall to see if they have it or if they can order copies of it. It is available for Kindle, but only on the American or UK site. You can find out more about the book at http://www.evictedbook.com/. Details of the Go Big Read program hosted by the University of Wisconsin - Madison are here: https://gobigread.wisc.edu/

We are looking for ways to coordinate a discussion with a book club back in Madison, WI and to see if we might have the ability join the discussion when the author presents on campus on Nov. 1.

Please sign up to join the discussion!
