Who are 'the homeless'? How is homelessness really experienced in contemporary society? And how do these people then attempt to make a transition back- to find a 'home' once more? These are some of the questions considered in this study, which follows a group of people making a transition out of homelessness for a year in their lives. The experiences of each individual are set within autobiographical accounts of their lives before, during, and in some cases, after being a 'homeless person'. This opens the door to what may be to many readers a hidden world of trauma, poverty, and marginality in the UK. 'Transitions Through Homelessness' successfully weaves longitudinal data on the experiences of homeless people, with a robust theoretical interpretation applying concepts of edgework in late modernity and the risk society. Both stimulating and highly readable, this book will surely become a core reference for scholars for some time.' Dr Isobel Anderson, University of Stirling
