Youth Studies has developed a robust body of knowledge on the young people's trajectories as they struggle to make a life in increasingly precarious social, political and economic circumstances. What we have called youth transitions are usually considered though the simplified binary of agency and structure. This wide ranging and ambitious collection invites Youth Studies researchers to trouble these types of binaries as they cannot account for a world where current business as usual practices are selling out the very future of the current generation of young people and those not yet born, right in front of our eyes. By bringing the concept of Anthropocene to the centre of youth research, this collection makes an important intervention to establish more-than-human and ecological phenomena as vital objects of study in considering the everyday lives of young people, the means to which they strategise towards their ambitions and aspirations, and how the future itself is a deeply affective absent-presence that we need to urgently fight for so young people actually have one.--Steven Threadgold, Associate Professor, Sociology and Anthropology, School of Humanities, Creative Industries and Social Sciences, University of Newcastle
