Description

Product Description Bringing together new, multidisciplinary research, this book explores how children and young people across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas experience and cope with situations of poverty and precarity. It looks at the impact of neoliberalism, austerity and global economic crisis, evidencing the multiple harms and inequalities caused. It also examines the different ways that children, young people and families ‘get by’ under these challenging circumstances, showing how they care for one another and envisage more hopeful socio\-political futures. Review A fascinating collection that shows how the intersection of global and local forces exacerbates inequalities in the life chances of young people in a wide range of locations. A perfect illustration of why a geographical imagination still matters. --Linda McDowell, University of Oxford This is a timely, urgent and necessary book. Each chapter is a beautifully written gem. It will define the field for some time to come. --Heather Montgomery, The Open University A passionate reckoning with the global and intimate tolls of neoliberalism, austerity and economic crises for children and childhood. Across disparate geographies it reveals how the baleful ricochets of 'hard times' are met, known and challenged. --Cindi Katz, City University of New York. About the Author John Horton is Professor in the Faculty of Health, Education Helena Pimlott-Wilson is Reader in Human Geography at Loughborough University. Sarah Marie Hall is Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Manchester, UK.
