Journey to Nowhere: The Saga of the New Underclass

Williamson and Maharidge lived in the world of the new underclass--the newly unemployed hobos who were until recently part of the middle-class. In photographs and words they make this world real, make us acknowledge the problems faced by these all-to-easily forgotten men and women who have yet to know economic recovery. The sense of desperation that pervades the lives of the unemployed is eloquently stated in both the pictures and text. An important document of a still present problem.
