This is a a fascinating and accessible account of social relations among primary school children in Dublin. Drawing on high quality empirical data the book highlights the links and tensions between race, racism, authenticity, the body and embodiment. Essential and timely, this book needs to be read.

The Body, Authenticity and Racsim insists on the need to think about embodiment in relation to racism. Drawing on fascinating fieldwork access the child's-world-view of race, identity and belonging in the Northside of Dublin, Garratt explores the racialised nature of authenticity, honesty and masculinity.

A thorough, critical and highly engaging read that delves deeply into the lifeworlds of boys of immigrant background in Dublin. Rich ethnographic accounts are mapped theoretically providing important insights or relevance to scholars and practitioners in diverse fields of education, gender studies, migration and social policy. A book I will be recommending to my students.
