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.

Title: Another Day in Paradise?
Review: 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" .

Title: The realities of our failing education system
Review: 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.

Title: A must read for teachers
Review: Phenomenal ethnography. Brilliant discussions. A must read for all elementary and middle school teachers. A cautionary tale of what happens when we fear the word racism more than inequality itself.
