Podcast | Interview with Dr. Joy White, author of Terraformed: Young Black Lives in the Inner City (2020)
A joint interview with Dr. Joy White in launch of the book Terraformed: Young Black Lives in the Inner City, which 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.
