Zusammenfassung
This chapter draws on interviews and observations carried out with young people in the post-industrial city of Birmingham. It considers historical structures of inequality that have resulted in segregated settlement of certain groups such as minority ethnic communities, and the impact of this on young people from those neighbourhoods. The chapter contrasts this (historic) experience of inequality with contemporary inequalities, symbolised in the emergence of a new leisure and consumption based economy that is largely city centre based, and accelerated by the recent economic crisis.
