In his first book, award-winning investigative journalist Brian Barth takes us on an immersive journey deep into Silicon Valley\u2019s homeless encampments, challenging everything we thought we knew about our unhoused neighbors.<\/b><\/p>\n

In this wide-reaching portrait of the constellation of people living in tents, shacks, and cars in the shadow of tech campuses and skyscrapers, award-winning journalist Brian Barth introduces us to the misfits, activists, and iconoclasts of Silicon Valley\u2019s homeless encampments. Blending memoir, investigative reporting, history, and cultural criticism to paint a portrait of a community searching for dignity and connection in the midst of a national crisis,\u00a0Front Street<\/i>\u00a0is a conversation-changing story about the struggle for housing.<\/p>\n

This immersive work follows residents of three distinct camps\u2014Crash Zone in San Jose, Wood Street in Oakland, and Wolfe Camp in Cupertino. Regularly harassed by police and local government, and frequently at risk of often violent and always destabilizing sweeps, these camps may seem chaotic to some but more often than not, to their residents they are sites of refuge and rebirth. In research on 19th- and 20th-century homelessness and philosophical contemplations of communal anarchy, and through honest conversations with residents, Barth shows how the solution to homelessness isn\u2019t as straightforward as one might think.<\/p>\n

Front Street<\/i>\u00a0considers the root causes and possible solutions to chronic homelessness, contemplating political, economic, social and spiritual approaches alike. With empathy and poise, Barth follows this cast of characters, describing their personal stories, quotidian experiences, private philosophies and political activism. In doing so,\u00a0Front Street\u00a0<\/i>explains why the country\u2019s current approach to homelessness has become at once cruel and ineffective and makes the radical argument that encampments, when treated generously and fairly, have something important to teach the rest of us about autonomy, dignity, connection and care.<\/p>\n
