Description
Terraformed: An Uncompromising Look at Racism and Inner-City Life Joy White's book offers a stark and unflinching examination of the issues affecting young black lives in inner-city communities. Since the 1980s, austerity, gentrification, and structural racism have had a devastating impact on these communities, widening inequality and entrenching poverty. In Terraformed, White draws on her own experiences and those of others to explore the complex relationships between racism, capitalism, and the built environment. The book centres on the lived experiences of black youth, who face a range of challenges including huge student debt, invisible homelessness, custodial sentences, and police brutality. White connects the dots between music, politics, and the built environment to shed light on the ways in which racism and inequality affect young black lives. By examining the history of Newham, London, White provides a powerful example of the global impact of these issues.
