Rife: Twenty-One Stories from Britain's Youth by Nikesh Shukla, Sammy Jones

3.0

From Rife Magazine comes this anthology of twenty-one essays from young people aged 16-24 covering an intersectional spectrum of topics including racism, ableism, misogyny, Islamaphobia, homophobia, sex, mental health, lack of job opportunities, student debt, poor educational provision, the housing crisis, crime, and the future. (All prefaced with appropriate trigger warnings.) ⁠

This generation is not often given a voice, but rather maligned as avocado-munching, snowflake millennials. However, this collection shows that they are actually politically informed, passionate and articulate, and gives an insightful snapshot into what it's like to be young in Britain today. ⁠

Thanks for Unbound and Netgalley for the digital copy in return for an honest and unbiased review.
