Bad Boys: Public Schools in the Making of Black Masculinity

Black males are disproportionately "in trouble" and suspended from the nation's school systems. This is as true now as it was when Ann Arnett Ferguson's now classic Bad Boys was first published. Bad Boys offers a richly textured account of daily interactions between teachers and students in order to demonstrate how a group of eleven- and twelve-year-old males construct a sense of self under adverse circumstances. This new edition includes a foreword by Pedro A. Noguera, and an afterword and bibliographic essay by the author, all of which reflect on the continuing relevance of this work nearly two decades after its initial publication.
