Youth, Inequality and Social Change in the Global South cover

This book gathers international and interdisciplinary work on youth studies from the Global South, exploring issues such as continuity and change in youth transitions from education to work; contemporary debates on the impact of mobility, marginalization and violence on young lives; how digital technologies shape youth experiences; and how different institutions, cultures and structures generate a diversity of experiences of what it means to be young. The book is divided into four broad thematic sections: (a) Education, work and social structure; (b) Identity and belonging; (c) Place, mobilities and marginalization; and (d) Power, social conflict and new forms of political participation of youth.

“The work represents a contribution to research on the theme of participation but, above all, it outlines a clear gap between traditional forms of involvement … . this volume has the merit of providing us with a new in­terpretative paradigm of young people from the South of the world through the formulation of analytical categories that distance themselves from an a-contextual and often stereotyped theoretical analysis of the lives of young people.” (Mauro Giardiello, Youth and Globalization, Vol. 1 (2), 2019)
