Contributors from across various regions of the Global South, including from the Diaspora, Indigenous and Aboriginal communities, locate and define the Global South, articulate the necessity of studying Southern lives to enrich, re-interpret, legitimate and offer symmetry to Youth Studies, and utilize and innovate Southern theory to do so. Eleven concepts are re-imagined and re-presented throughout the Handbook, such as personhood, intersectionality, violences, de- and post-coloniality, consciousness, precarity, fluid modernities, ontological insecurity, navigational capacities, collective agency and emancipation. The outcome is a series of everyday practices such as hustling, navigating, fixing, waiting, being on standby, silence, and life-writing, that demonstrate how youth living in adversity experiment with and push back against routine and conformity, and how research may support them in these endeavors and, simultaneously, redefine the relationships between knowledge, practice and politics-what the volume editors term epistepraxis. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 672 pages\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 09 November 2021\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxford University Press Inc\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNinety percent of the world's youth reside in Africa, Latin America, and the developing countries of Asia, yet the field of Youth Studies, like many others, is heavily influenced by the knowledge economy of the Global North. To address these geo-political disparities in knowledge, The Oxford Handbook of Global South Youth Studies presents a contribution from Southern scholars aimed at reimagining Youth Studies from its current state, which universalizes Northern perspectives, into a truly Global Youth Studies. Contributors from diverse regions of the Global South, including the Diaspora, Indigenous and Aboriginal communities, locate and define the Global South, articulate the importance of studying Southern lives to enrich, re-interpret, legitimate, and offer symmetry to Youth Studies, and utilize and innovate Southern theory to achieve this.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEleven key concepts are re-imagined and re-presented throughout the Handbook: personhood, intersectionality, violences, de- and post-coloniality, consciousness, precarity, fluid modernities, ontological insecurity, navigational capacities, collective agency, and emancipation.
