This book confronts the issues young people face growing up in the confusion and anxiety
of today's highly global society. Young people face their futures consumed with feelings
of doubt, uncertainty and ambivalence. The Global Financial Crisis and the rise of
the Islamic State means young people are transitioning into adulthood in a time that
we call an age of anxiety. They may be the first generation to have fewer opportunities
than their parents yet, despite this, they are learning to imagine other kinds of
futures. These are futures where economic collapse provides opportunities for entrepreneurialism
and innovation, where Islamic State does not need to pose a clear and present danger,
and where political action provides hope for a better world. Dealing with the current
political and economic climate and progressive campaigns such as Black Lives Matter,
Howie and Campbell tackle some of the biggest threats to the future of society. An
innovative and wide-reaching study, this book will be of particular interest to scholars
of human geography, disaster studies, politics, and sociology
