`Generation Nowhere': rethinking youth through the lens of unemployed young men

Department of Geography, Box 353550, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA, cjj3{at}u.washington.edu

Rising unemployment among educated young men is a key feature of neoliberal economic change. This paper reviews recent research on the strategies of educated unemployed young men in the global south to stress the importance of class, politics and environmental transformation for an understanding of contemporary youth geographies. Transnational reflection on the lives of educated unemployed young men provides an example of how human geographers might combine political economic analysis with recent theorizations of subjectivity formation and fluid identities.

Key Words: class • gender • global south • politics • space • unemployment • youth.
