Black Masculinities and Schooling: how Black boys survive modern schooling

by: Tony Sewell

ISBN: 9781858560403

Price: £18.99

This ethnographic study of an inner city boys' comprehensive school reveals the positioning of African-Caribbean boys by their teachers, peers and white students. The rules, values and teachers interactions at the school, along with the influence of the music/fashion culture on the street, have led some boys to reappropriate racist and sexist perceptions of black masculinity. Teachers and researchers will gain valuable new understandings of the complex, contextual and shifting sites called 'school' and be guided in developing the school environment to support learning.
