Outstanding, practical, empowering book. Excellent analysis of the way gender roles and gender performance feed violence. Awareness of class and race dynamics. Realistic scenarios used to illustrate and offer discussion. Written in intelligent *usable* form for youth, parents, youth workers, anyone who cares about violence prevention... Also, if you happen to live British Columbia, you can attend their training center.
This has an excellent discussion on techniques kids can use to be safe and assertive. Great primer for those involved with teaching and working with teens.
