Terraformed

In Terraformed, Joy White provides an insightful and candid examination of the challenges faced by Black youth in London’s inner-city communities, highlighting the impacts of racism, capitalism, and austerity. Combining ethnography and memoir, the book explores how structural issues like gentrification and austerity influence everyday life, shedding light on topics such as policing, health, and social inequality. Using the history of Newham as a case study, it offers a compelling perspective on urban life and systemic inequality globally.
