本文将探讨黑人青年生活在社会贫困地区的伦敦的意见和经验，以研究他们认识到一个术语“黑人社区”作为一种资源，民族认同的形成和集体动员的方式。尽管对许多黑人青年来说，“黑人社区”通常存在明显的问题，但这些社区也代表了城市空间，通过这些空间产生了一系列有联系的社会资本资源，包括相互信任、团结和公民参与的纽带。这些空间对这些年轻人具有内在价值，为他们提供了幸福感和归属感。然而，分析也将表明，年轻人对社区的体验并不总是积极的，这种空间对居住在那里的黑人青年造成了负面影响。特别是，这些数据将突出“黑人社区”的限制能力，以及他们限制黑人青年在社会流动性和超越社区界限的能力方面“获得"机会的各种方式。
This paper will examine the views and experiences of Black youths living in socially deprived areas of London in order to examine the way in which they recognise the term ‘Black neighbourhood’ as a resource for ethnic identity formation and collective mobilisation. Despite the apparent problems that are typically associated with ‘Black neighbourhoods’ for many Black youths, these neighbourhoods also represent urban spaces through which a range of bonding social capital resources are generated including ties of reciprocal trust, solidarity and civic participation. These spaces hold intrinsic value for these young people providing them with a sense of wellbeing and belonging. However, the analysis will also show that the young people’s experiences of the neighbourhood are not always positive ones, and such spaces create negative outcomes for Black youths residing there. In particular, the data will highlight the restrictive capacity of ‘Black neighbourhoods’ and the various ways in which they limit Black youths’ opportunities to ‘get on’ in terms of social mobility and their ability to move beyond neighbourhood boundaries.
