Life after Guns
Precarious lives, precarious labour
This research is about young people, family support and transitions into the workforce. We provide the results of a comparative, qualitative study with young men in two southern English towns. We argue that relationships of support in families are vital to young people's ability to ‘navigate’ precarious labour market opportunities. As Youth Studies has become increasingly preoccupied with individualism, we are compelled to draw attention to the c…
The Production of Difference and Maintenance of Inequality
This article examines the ways in which young migrant men are constructed as potential employees in a British town where service sector employment, often on a casual or precarious basis, dominates the bottom end of the labour market. Low‐wage jobs in many British towns are now constructed as feminized, low waged and demanding personal skills of empathy and servility. In this context, young men, and especially young men of colour, including recent…
Constructing racialised masculinities in/through affective orientations to a multicultural town
This paper examines how gendered and racialised discourses and practices intersect to shape, to an extent, the ways in which young men are affected by representations of Luton and how they experience urban space. Using Wetherell’s concept of affective intersectionality, Hage’s distinction between passive and governmental belonging and Brah’s interpretation of diasporic identities, we argue that the affective-discursive modalities through which pa…
Possible selves in a precarious labour market
Precarious work, protest masculinity and communal regulation
This article presents an argument about the reactions of young South Asian men to their economic and social exclusion. In a labour market increasingly characterized by insecurity, where bottom end service employment often demands a feminized 'service with a smile' performance, young working class men from minority communities are often disadvantaged in their search for work. It has been argued that in these circumstances a version of protest masc…
Politics, anti-politics, quiescence and radical unpolitics
The origins of this article are threefold. They lie in arguments about young people as either politically apathetic or as heralds of new forms of technologically enabled politics; in political arguments about the rise of the right in the UK, especially in places with a visible minority population; and in the debates about unruly urban youth in public spaces, especially their involvement in urban unrest in English cities in August 2011. These thre…
