This book which has now established itself as a classic study of
working class boys describes how Paul Willis followed a group of
'lads' as they passed through the last two years of school and into
work. The book explains that for 'the lads' it is their own culture
which blocks teaching and prevents the realisation of liberal
education aims. This culture exposes some of the contradictions
within these formal aims and actually supplies the operational
criteria by which a future in wage labour is judged. Paul Willis
explores how their own culture can guide working class lads on to
the shop floor. This is an uncompromising book which has provoked
considerable discussion and controversy in educational circles
throughout the world - it has been translated into Finnish, German,
French, Swedish, Japanese and Spanish.
