Not So Far from Home (Paperback)
Vendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Not So Far from Home brings a deeply personal perspective on how homelessness is a moral responsibility and community-building opportunity for the well-housed in America. In stories of service and friendship with un-homed neighbors, Charlie Quimby shows how poor people and marginal neighborhoods bear the human costs of insulating prosperous citizens like him.In 2009 Quimby joined efforts to end homelessness by volunteering as a preschool classroom aide in an emergency family shelter. Prevention was the solution, he thought, and at-risk kids spoke to his heart. Moved by the children's potential and dismayed by their precarious circumstances, he began writing reports on his volunteer work as it expanded in Minneapolis and Western Colorado. Witnessing folks struggle against structural barriers to achieving stable housing, his commitment grew.Not So Far from Home features the big-hearted sensibility and empathetic portrayals of people whose lives are often overlooked or discounted that brought acclaim for Quimby's novels, Monument Road and Inhabited. His short vignettes and essays convey the dignity and hopes of the diverse people he meets, while probing how flawed perceptions and judgments obstruct more humane solutions to ending homelessness.Not So Far from Home stands out from the academic, social policy, and journalistic treatments of homelessness because Quimby brings an introspective literary style to his work in the trenches of community organizations. He is open about being a writer and reports respectfully, but collecting stories is not his motivation. He connects with people as a voluntary preschool aide, shower attendant, street barber, discussion leader, bike mechanic, and front door greeter, without trying to be social worker, therapist, or white savior. The bonds he forms are mutual and genuine.For anyone considering a role in community affairs, his insights into volunteering and everyday activism will enlighten and inspire. Those already dedicated to fields of social service will find recognition of their work's importance and appreciation of their daily challenges. A deeply personal perspective on how homelessness is not a danger but a moral responsibility and community-building opportunity for the well-housed. In empathetic stories of service and friendship with unhomed neighbors, Charlie Quimby shows how poor people and marginal neighborhoods bear the costs of insulating prosperous citizens like him.
