Bad Boys: Public Schools in the Making of Black Masculinity (Law, Meaning, And Violence) Review: Another Day in Paradise? - Some will not like the content of this book because it disturbs their "post-racial" world view of United States society. Some will not like it because they themselves stand indicted. Others will weep or nearly weep as did I, because Dr. Ferguson affirms that what was hoped to be a local, misread problem is exactly what it appears to be. If you look at the inner-city and wonder what are the roots of the chaos, mayhem and poverty, you will find a major root in this book - the administration of public education in Black and Latino communities. Education is the one humanly administered faculty that can level the playing field for all people. It is an indispensable foundation for true democracy, creating intellectual capital in the form of invention, creativity, industry and prosperity. Unfortunately, public education as an institution has been used to deform and debase the intellect and potential of some, a device to manipulate self-esteem, achievement and to create a class of underlings and slaves. I can say no more than you must read this one and Dr.Raymond Winbush's "The Warrior Method: A Parents' Guide to Rearing Healthy Black Boys" . Review: The realities of our failing education system - Incredible, painful, informative and affirming - are the gamut of emotions this book will wring from you. If you are in education, this will remind you of the calling to make a difference. If you are in education and you work with people who have lost their spark or become victims of the failing system, this book will help them see themselves and hopefully, turn around. This book will help you call yourself to action, to battle against the inequalities of a system that allows children to fail or believes that some children don't deserve to learn. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,901,865 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,174 in General Anthropology #1,843 in Philosophy & Social Aspects of Education #3,300 in African American Demographic Studies (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (94) | | Dimensions | 6 x 1 x 9 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0472088491 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0472088492 | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Law, Meaning, And Violence | | Print length | 272 pages | | Publication date | August 28, 2001 | | Publisher | University of Michigan Press | ## Images ![Bad Boys: Public Schools in the Making of Black Masculinity (Law, Meaning, And Violence) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51vl2qN1U0L.jpg) ![Bad Boys: Public Schools in the Making of Black Masculinity (Law, Meaning, And Violence) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/514-ScBwvsL.jpg) ![Bad Boys: Public Schools in the Making of Black Masculinity (Law, Meaning, And Violence) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31yx0AvbV9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another Day in Paradise? *by L***E on September 15, 2015* Some will not like the content of this book because it disturbs their "post-racial" world view of United States society.
