What does it mean to be young in a changing world? How are
migration, settlement and new urban cultures shaping young lives?
And in particular, are race, place and class still meaningful to
contemporary youth cultures?
This path-breaking book shows how young people are responding
differently to recent social, economic and cultural
transformations. From the spirit of white localism deployed by
de-industrialized football supporters, to the hybrid multicultural
exchanges displayed by urban youth, young people are finding new
ways of wrestling with questions of race and ethnicity. Through
globalization is whiteness now being displaced by 'black' culture -
in fashion, music and slang - and if so, what impact is this having
on race politics? Moreover, what happens to those people and places
that are left behind by changes in late modernity?
By developing a unique brand of spatial cultural studies, this
book explores complex formations of race and class as they arise in
the subtle textures of whiteness, respectability and youth
subjectivity. This is the first book to look specifically at young
ethnicities through the prism of local-global change. Eloquently
written, its riveting ethnographic case studies and insider
accounts will ensure that this book becomes a benchmark publication
for writing on race in years to come.
