A new reading list for those who are interested in contextualizing and understanding poverty in the United States. This book club list offers a variety of viewpoints and the authors represented here approach poverty from interesting and compelling angles. There exists no singular expression of poverty, and poverty does not strike all demographics equally, those who are impoverished are diverse racially, ethnically, geographically, and culturally. This week’s reading list aims to help readers understand the diversity of the impoverished population in America.
