Abstract:
"Pairs historical text and illustrations from Sloan's work with contemporary text from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's online Guide to avoiding foreclosure. The colophon provides commentary by the artist, noting the effects of speculation and financial collapse in her own neighborhood ... 'Hamner's book is part political commentary and part homage to Sloan's original work'--Robert Gore"--Artist's Web site, viewed July 31, 2015.
