Tabloid headlines such as 'Anti-social Feral Youth,' 'Vile Products
of Welfare in the UK' and 'One in Four Adolescents is a Criminal'
have in recent years obscured understanding of what social justice
means for young people and how they experience it. Youth
marginality in Britain offers a new perspective by promoting young
people's voices and understanding the agency behind their actions.
It explores different forms of social marginalisation within media,
culture and society, focusing on how young people experience social
discrimination at a personal and collective level. This collection
from a wide range of expert contributors showcases contemporary
research on multiple youth deprivation of personal isolation,
social hardship, gender and ethnic discrimination and social
stigma. With a foreword from Robert MacDonald, it explores the
intersection of race, gender, class, asylum seeker status and care
leavers in Britain, placing them in the broader context of
austerity, poverty and inequality to highlight both change and
continuity within young people's social and cultural identities.
This timely contribution to debates concerning youth austerity in
Britain is suitable for students across youth studies, sociology,
education, criminology, youth work and social policy.
