Being Bad - My Baby Brother and the School-to-prison Pipeline

This title will change the way you think about the social and academic worlds of Black boys. It explores the under-education of Black males, the importance of scapegoats in culture, the reality of zero tolerance, the role of mainstream media in constructing Black masculinity, and the relationships between schools and prisons. No other book combines rigorous research, personal narrative, and compelling storytelling to examine the educational experiences of young Black males.
