Youth Homelessness in Late Modernity

More about the book

Focusing on the identities and experiences of young people facing homelessness, this book examines their personal relationships and the broader societal implications of youth homelessness. Through empirical research in diverse settings, it establishes a 'symbolic economy of youth homelessness,' highlighting the emotional and relational suffering caused by power dynamics and privilege. By situating youth homelessness within the contexts of inequality and social change, it challenges conventional views, linking the issue to wider societal processes and cultural constructions of youth in late modernity.
