The book explores the intricate dynamics between working-class masculinities and educational achievement, focusing on young men in Belfast's selective and secondary schools. It challenges the stereotype of disengaged working-class boys by highlighting those who are motivated and have aspirations. However, it also addresses the societal structures that complicate their paths to success. By examining the reconciliation of identity and achievement, the author emphasizes the critical role of schools in supporting these boys, making it relevant for educators and sociologists alike.
