Synopsis:

Using a mix of the latest theory on boys, men and masculinities and candid accounts of classroom-based practice in an inner -city school, Challenging Macho Values examines the hidden problem of what is happening to our adolescent boys today - why they are disruptive, damaging to themselves and others, and underachieving.
