Product Description
What is it like to grow up in Britain's poor neighbourhoods? How do young people get by in high unemployment, high crime localities? Have they become a 'lost generation', disconnected from society's mainstream? And do popular ideas about a socially excluded, welfare dependent 'underclass' really connect with the realities of life for Britain's young and poor?
Disconnected Youth? seeks to answer these questions. It is based on recent, in-depth research undertaken in a locality that suffers all the objective problems of social exlusion in extremis. Extensive participant obeservation and qualitative interviews with a diverse set of so-called 'disengaged' and 'difficult-to-reach' young men and women provide a rare insight into the lived experience of social exclusion. A book for students, researchers and professionals. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
