What Professors Are Saying
"I chose Bad Boys...[because] the writing is engaging...Ferguson incorporates relevant and useful theories, [making] the text much easier to use as a basis for classroom discussion. [She] demonstrates how, even in what seems to be an ideal situation...the black boys are marginalized and criminalized. Finally...Ferguson has innovative ideas about labeling, black masculinity, racial identity, and schooling. Overall, I am very excited about using this text in my classroom."
