Exploring the visibility of homelessness in modern urban settings, this book delves into its historical roots in both Europe and early American colonies. It examines the phenomenon of self-exclusion among contemporary homeless individuals, particularly the Clochards in the West, positioning it as a significant aspect of modern culture. The text outlines the problem and objectives of the study, contextualizes the social environment, and reviews various epistemological perspectives to frame the theoretical underpinnings of the research.
