Official release date for Debt's Grip: Risk and Consumer Bankruptcy, from University of California Press!! In it, @boblawless.bsky.social, Deborah Thorne, and I draw on 11 years of court records and surveys from bankruptcy filers to describe what it means to live in financial precarity in the US.

Day 3 (for me) of the #bookchallenge.
Challenge = choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order (and, for me, it may take more than 20 consecutive days). No explanations, no reviews, just covers.
