      abstract = {This book explores the identities, embodied experiences,  and personal relationships of young people experiencing  homelessness, and analyses these in relation to the  material and symbolic position that youth homelessness  occupies in modern societies. Drawing on empirical research  conducted in both urban and rural areas, the book situates  young people?s experiences of homelessness within a  theoretical framework that connects embodied identities and  relationships with processes of social change. The book  theorises a ?symbolic economy of youth homelessness? that  encompasses the subjective, aesthetic, and relational  dimensions of homelessness. This theory shows the personal,  interpersonal and affective suffering that is caused by the  relations of power and privilege that produce contemporary  youth homelessness. The book is unique in the way in which  it places youth homelessness within the wider contexts of  inequality, and social change. Whilst contemporary  discussions of youth homelessness understand the topic as a  discrete ?social problem?, this book demonstrates the  position that youth homelessness occupies within wider  social processes, inequalities, and theoretical debates,  addressing theories of social change in late modernity and  their relationship to the cultural construction of youth.  These theoretical debates are made concrete by means of an  exploration of an important form of contemporary  inequality: youth homelessness.},
