Focusing on the lives of a groups of young adults living in a deprived housing estate in the North of England, this book provides a richly detailed ethnographic account of the realities of exclusion. In doing so, it promotes a different way of seeing the problematic relationship between socially excluded young people, society and government, and challenges the view underlying government policy that social exclusion is a product of crime, antisocial behaviour and drug use.
