Complete with case studies of classrooms, school districts, and government programs, the essays collected here provide a look into education's role in the development of masculinities, paying special attention to the ways in which these masculinities intersect with race, class, and sexuality to complicate the experience of boys within and outside of a classroom setting. The role of male teachers, strategies for aiding marginalized boys in the classroom, and the possibilities for gender reform in schools are some areas discussed, and the need to move beyond the backlash against progressive and feminist gains in education is stressed. Some specific subjects explored are troubles of black boys in urban schools in the US, masculine traditions in a post-industrial economy, and tomboys and "female masculinity." Martino is professor of education at The University of Western Ontario, Canada. Has written books in the field of gender equity, masculinities, and anti-oppressive education.
