This book explores the transformation of youth and urban culture in neoliberal Britain, focusing on the reconfiguration of race, culture and marginalization in a city defined by global flows of population and culture. Drawing on a range of ethnographic materials, James examines the transformation of urban multiculture in relation to memory, neighbourhood, dance and music, digital media, youth politics and the future. Providing a unique insight into the changing cultural, racial, classed and gendered configuration of urban Britain, as well as new theoretical tools for engaging with these shifts, this book will be of interest to anyone interested in youth culture, race and racism, marginalization and politics in global cities.
