This original and fresh approach to the emotions of adolescence
focuses on the leisure lives of working-class boys and young men in
the inter-war years. Being boys challenges many stereotypes about
their behaviour. It offers new perspectives on familiar and
important themes in inter-war social and cultural history, ranging
from the cinema and mass consumption to boys' clubs, personal
advice pages, street cultures, dancing, sexuality, mobility and the
body. It draws on many autobiographies and personal accounts and is
particularly distinctive in offering an unusual insight into
working-class adolescence through the teenage diaries of the
author's father, which are interwoven with the book's broader
analysis of contemporary leisure developments. Being boys will be
of interest to scholars and students across the humanities and
social sciences and is also relevant to those teaching and studying
in the fields of child development, education, and youth and
community studies. -- .
