Highly Commended in the Society of Educational Studies Book Prize
This book explores how economic changes and the growing importance
of educational qualifications in a shrinking labour market,
particularly effects marginalized young men. It follows a group of
young working-class men in a de-industrial community and challenges
commonly held representations that often appear in the media and in
policy discourses which portray them as feckless, out of control,
educational failures and lacking aspiration. Ward argues that for a
group of young men in a community of social and economic
deprivation, expectations and transitions to adulthood are framed
through the industrial legacy of geographically and historically
shaped class and gender codes. These codes have an impact on what
it means to be a man and what behaviour is deemed acceptable and
what is not.
