Redlining the Adjacent Possible: Youth and Communities of Color Face the (Not) New Future of (Not) Work
The sharing economy gets lots of love, but we dig deeper to expose whose ideas of sharing get condoned and whose get condemned. We explore how race and class play out in what is adjacent and what is possible when it comes to how low-income young people of color face the not-new future of not-work.
How do we go about telling ourselves the truth? How do we intervene in our own narrative devices? What stories have swallowed whole…about ourselves, about heroes and villains, about what it means to win? There is gut wrenching work to be done here.
