While U.S modernist studies has attended well to the radical literary movements of the1920s and 1930s, it often limits its focus to representations of working-class life. Expanding thisscholarship's historical purview, this project unearths a modernist archive that attests to anemergent discourse of homeless activism and evinces how underclass writers and texts of homelesslife were essential to the development of a radical proletarian tradition. In so doing, I argue thatwriters and artists in the twenties, thirties, and forties used modernist aesthetics to contestdiscourses of subproletariat abjection, anomie, and passivity, configuring an oppositional aestheticthat represents homeless political resistance to dispossession, criminalization, and incarceration.While scholars locate the dawn of homeless grassroots organizing in the 1980s and '90s, thisproject shows that U.S. modernist writers prepared the discursive ground for future activism. Inparticular, Leftist and Communist writers and artists crafted novels, poetry, dramas, and paintingsthat proffered critiques of private property, eviction, residential alienation, juridical violence, andincarceration, thus breaking with naturalist and urban sociological discourses and expanding thescope of the Old Left's labor politics. To support these claims, this project culls from theintellectual traditions of Marxist literary history, cultural studies, urban geography, feminist andqueer studies, critical race studies, and critical carceral studies to examine how writers in the '30sand '40s represented the lived experience of homelessness and imagined the modes of futurity,kinship, political belonging, and resistance that emerge through the day-to-day spaces, movements,and collectivities of homeless life in the U.S.
