Youth Homelessness in Late Modernity

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the lived experiences of young people facing homelessness, the book delves into their identities and relationships while examining the broader societal implications. It draws on empirical research from diverse settings to construct a theoretical framework that links personal experiences with social change. By theorizing a 'symbolic economy of youth homelessness,' it highlights the emotional and relational suffering stemming from systemic power dynamics. This work situates youth homelessness within broader discussions of inequality and cultural constructs, challenging the notion of it as merely a social problem.
