What are hoovervilles in To Kill a Mockingbird?

"Hoovervilles" are not mentioned in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. The term "Hooverville" refers to shantytowns that sprung up during the Great Depression in the United States. These makeshift communities were named after President Herbert Hoover, who was blamed for the economic hardship and lack of government support.

While the story of To Kill a Mockingbird is set during the Great Depression, it focuses on the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama, and the social issues and injustices within the community. While the book does touch upon poverty, it doesn't specifically describe or mention Hoovervilles.
