This text confronts the complacent assumption that "boys will be boys" which has resulted in blindness about the problem of boys in school. It challenges the culture of aggressive manliness within which most boys have grown up and the destructive masculinity that they learn later in life.

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.

Jonathan Salisbury taught in secondary schools for over twenty years and is presently working with boys in an inner-city comprehensive school in Derby as part of a research project. He has also been working with Nottingham Agenda and participating in men's conscious-raising groups for ten years. David Jackson taught in secondary English departments for nearly twenty years. He is co-founder of Nottingham Agenda, an anti-sexist programme that works with abusive and violent men and has been involved in men's groups and masculinity issues for over ten years.
