Sažetak
This article attempts to show how biographical research can be used to understand experiences of crisis among homeless people and how their personal biographies uncover different contexts and processes. Following an overview of biographical research, an analysis of the post-transition period and
homelessness will be discussed. ' is article specifically explores and traces the social transformations and crises in personal biographies obtained through ethnographic research with people who sleep at homeless shelters throughout Croatia. Findings show how biographical research facilitates a fuller
examination of their homelessness experiences and the structural similarities that underlie these experiences.
