Joy White

How Black music and culture shaped our experiences during the first 18 months of COVID-19. As lockdowns restricted movement and social interactions, music became a vital tool for countering the psychological impact of isolation, offering solace and connection. Like Lockdown Never Happened explores the surge in music listening, the shift of concerts to online platforms, and the evolution of cultural events in a socially distanced world. It focuses on contemporary Black music and its various expressions during this time, featuring notable phenomena such as Kano's Newham Talks, Steve McQueen's BBC anthology Small Axe, the Verzuz DJ Battle series, TikTok's Don't Rush Challenge, and the radio station TheresNoSignal, among others. By analysing both chronological and kairotic time during the pandemic, the book highlights how Black joy and sonic Black geographies were essential to the cultural landscape of this era. It underscores the significance of Black music and creative expression as they soundtracked and sustained us through unprecedented challenges. Key themes and features include: - The role of Black music in combating isolation and boredom during lockdown - A deep dive into significant cultural events and online experiences - Insights into how Black creativity shaped the pandemic narrative - Exploration of Black joy and cultural resilience in challenging times This compelling analysis offers a fresh perspective on the importance of Black culture in our collective response to the pandemic, making it a valuable read for anyone interested in music, culture, and social history.

Since the 1980s, austerity, gentrification and structural racism have wreaked havoc on inner-city communities, widening inequality and entrenching poverty. In Terraformed, Joy White offers an insider ethnography of Forest Gate — a neighbourhood in Newham, east London — analysing how these issues affect the black youth of today. Connecting the dots between music, politics and the built environment, it centres the lived experiences of black youth who have had it all: huge student debt, invisible homelessness, custodial sentences, electronic tagging, surveillance, arrest, ASBOs, issues with health and well-being, and of course, loss. Part ethnography, part memoir, Terraformed contextualises the history of Newham and considers how young black lives are affected by racism, neoliberalism and austerity.

Youth unemployment in the UK remains around the one million mark, with many young people from impoverished backgrounds becoming and remaining NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training). However, the NEET categorisation covertly disguises and obscures the significance of the diverse range of activities, achievements and accomplishments of those who operate in the informal creative economy. With grime music and its related enterprise a key component of the urban music economy, this book employs the inherent contradictions and questions that emerge from an exploration of the grime music scene to build a complex reading of the socio-economic significance of urban music. Incorporating insightful dialogue with the participants in this economy, White challenges the prevailing wisdom on marginalised young people, whilst also confronting the assumption that the inertia and localisation of the grime culture results from its close links to NEET "members" and the informal sector. Offering an ethnographic and timely critique of the NEET classification, this compelling book would be suitable for undergraduate and post-graduate students interested in urban studies, business, work and labour, education and employment, ethnography, music, and cultural studies.
