Critical Geographies of Youth

Communities, Mobilities and Citizenship
Geography is central to understanding young people’s diverse and complex societal positioning. This critical introduction to the geographies of youth, suitable for a range of courses, examines how place and mobilities shape young people’s identities and agency.
Contemporary youth face important and unique societal and environmental challenges and opportunities that impact their everyday spaces, identities and routines. Yet, as a field of research, youth geographies are conceptually opaque, slippery to define and without a stable position against the competing fields of children’s geographies, and other more ‘adult’ geographical topics. This book examines how a range of geographical contexts can shape young people’s experiences of everyday life, and makes three unique contributions: first, recognising youthful communities and identities to be lived differently and distinctively from other aged categories; second, identifying agency as central to how youth mobilities are shaped and performed in enduring, practical or transactional ways away from those formulated by policymakers; and third, exposing diverse and targeted youth voices that have some (limited) capacities and desires to reshape citizenship that matters to them.
