TERRAFORMED: YOUNG BLACK LIVES IN THE INNER CITY by Black Music and Cultures Research Group published on 2020-09-10T09:14:59Z Black Music and Cultures Research Group members Donalea Scott and Julia Toppin interview author Joy White about her latest book, 'Terraformed: Young Black Lives In The Inner City' which outlines how structural racism, austerity, and gentrification have wreaked havoc on inner-city communities, widening inequality and entrenching poverty. In Terraformed, Joy White offers an insider ethnography of Forest Gate - a neighbourhood in Newham, East London, England - analysing how these issues affect the Black youth of today. Connecting the dots between music, politics and the built environment, it centres the lived experiences of young Black people. Terraformed contextualises the history of Newham and considers how young Black lives are affected by racism, neoliberalism and austerity. Terraformed: Young Black Lives in the Inner City by Joy White is published by Repeater Books.
