Trapped in a Maze - by Leslie Paik

Trapped in a Maze provides an intimate look into the complex interactions between low-income families and various institutions, such as welfare, hospitals, courts, housing, and schools.

Through vivid storytelling and in-depth analysis, author Leslie Paik reveals how these institutions perpetuate the conditions of poverty that these families are fighting to escape.

By tracing the intricate journeys of families navigating this multi-institutional maze, Paik exposes the limitations of institutional rationality and highlights the need for systemic change.

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the lived experiences of low-income families and the ways in which institutions can either hinder or help their progress towards economic stability.
