结合统计和人种学分析，本文探讨了在城市穷人的生活中驱逐的普遍性和后果。对行政和调查数据的定量分析发现，在市中心的黑人社区，驱逐是司空见惯的，这些社区的妇女被驱逐的比率明显高于男子。基于被驱逐的租户和他们的房东之间的实地调查的人种学数据的定性分析揭示了多种机制推动这种差异。在贫穷的黑人社区，驱逐对于女性来说就像监禁对于男性一样：这是一种典型但后果严重的事件，导致了城市贫困的再现。
Combining statistical and ethnographic analyses, this article explores the prevalence and ramifications of eviction in the lives of the urban poor. A quantitative analysis of administrative and survey data finds that eviction is commonplace in inner-city black neighborhoods and that women from those neighborhoods are evicted at significantly higher rates than men. A qualitative analysis of ethnographic data based on fieldwork among evicted tenants and their landlords reveals multiple mechanisms propelling this discrepancy. In poor black neighborhoods, eviction is to women what incarceration is to men: a typical but severely consequential occurrence contributing to the reproduction of urban poverty.
