Since the 1980s, austerity, gentrification and structural racism
have wreaked havoc on inner-city communities, widening inequality
and entrenching poverty. In Terraformed, Joy White offers an
insider ethnography of Forest Gate - a neighbourhood in Newham,
east London - analysing how these issues affect the black youth of
today. Connecting the dots between music, politics and the built
environment, it centres the lived experiences of black youth who
have had it all: huge student debt, invisible homelessness,
custodial sentences, electronic tagging, surveillance, arrest,
ASBOs, issues with health and well-being, and of course, loss. Part
ethnography, part memoir, Terraformed contextualises the history of
Newham and considers how young black lives are affected by racism,
neoliberalism and austerity.
