Routledge Rethinking Young People's Marginalisation: Beyond neo-Liberal Futures

Rethinking Young People's Marginalisation examines how interconnected earth systems crises shape the lived experiences of young people in the 21st century. This Routledge publication explores the complex relationship between atmospheric, oceanic, and land systems alongside neo-Liberal capitalism, revealing how these crises manifest through war, violence, extremism, and mass displacement. The book investigates the precarious and marginal existence facing millions of young people today, analysing both the psychological and social consequences of systemic collapse. By moving beyond conventional neo-Liberal frameworks, this work offers critical perspectives on youth marginalisation and its roots in broader environmental and economic upheaval. Essential reading for scholars, students, and practitioners in sociology, anthropology, and youth studies seeking to understand contemporary youth struggles within planetary crisis contexts.
