Street Stories: 100 Years of Homelessness
Meet authors Michael Barnholden and Nancy Newman

Street Stories, written by Michael Barnholden and Nancy Newman, with photographs by Lindsay Mearns, contains interviews, photographs, and essays on homelessness and poverty in Vancouver. While Mearns turns a sympathetic lens on the faces of Vancouver's homeless and shows them for the everymen and women they are, Barnholden and Newman provide an overview of homelessness in Vancouver from 1907 to the present. They examine why the political and social response to homelessness is still largely based on historical notions of deserving and undeserving poor and what programs and initiatives have been tried and which have failed.
