This book engages with debates on ethnic minority and Muslim young people showing, beyond apathy and violent political extremism, the diverse forms of political engagement in which young people engage.

"Contesting the thesis that 'ethnic minority young people' have become politically apathetic and conversely are prone to violent extremism, O'Toole and Gale offer insight into minoritised young people's complex 'grammars of political action' and the socio-spatial relations in which their political subjectivities and activity are entangled." - Rachel Rosen, Children's Geographies, 13(4)
