Material Conditions (2025)
A former teenage gang member reflects on the all-enveloping world of his local area and how this environment, driven on by structural inequalities, shaped his entire personhood growing up. When material conditions make the message of ‘taking responsibility and working harder’ more harmful than helpful, how do we help isolated, racialised, and disempowered young people actualise their full potential?
