ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the relationship between inequality and youth with an unbridled interest in understanding youth work and other global actions in education as an important approach for not only engaging young people but, more broadly, for making social progress. It offers a unique and rich perspective, but it is in the totality of the work that people find exciting possibilities for the future of youth work. The chapter highlights that injustice can always be both simple and complex, but it is only through illuminative processes that the nuances can be examined. If people anchor youth work practice in the illumination and interruption of inequality, they must also consider some cautions for the future practice of youth work. For this to happen, people believe that youth workers must become more adept and articulate at raising up sociological and historical understandings of the human experience to challenge the dominance achieved by psychologically derived disciplinary frames.
