These are some of the questions considered in this study, which follows a group of people making a transition outof homelessness for a year in their lives. The experiencesof each individual are set within autobiographical accounts of their lives before, during, and in some cases, after being a 'homeless person'.This opens the door to what may be to many readers a hidden world of trauma, poverty, and marginality in the UK. 'Transitions Through Homelessness' successfully weaves longitudinal data on the experiences of homeless people, with a robust theoretical interpretation applying concepts of edgework inlate modernity and the risk society.
