This book provides the reader with the missing voices of students, educators, and families in the national dialogue on bullying. The telling of stories by those who have been marginalized due to race, gender, class, ability, sexual orientation, or gender expression is one of the truest forms of activism in our time. This incredible book helps us to understand the impact of taunting, teasing, and micro aggressions targeted at student identities that result in identity-based bullying. This book will help the reader to develop a critical understanding of the systematic injustice of bullying in order to better support and create welcoming and culturally competent schools. – Johanna Eager, Director of Welcoming Schools, A Project from the Human Rights Campaign Boske and Osanloo have demonstrated the gift of “story catching” in this book and offer readers a bricolage of voices on bullying. The editors demonstrate craftiness as bricoleurs as they weave stories of sadness, bravery, and triumph to create an agenda that shifts the overall voice of the book into an agenda for action. This literary work of art virtually stands alone as it places the voices of all stakeholders – children, families, community members, practitioners, and scholars – at the forefront of a current crisis that, if not addressed, will continue to cause devastating losses of life and community. – Whitney Sherman Newcomb, Professor at Virginia Commonwealth University With increased attention to violence in and around schools, this book provides a systemic analysis by going directly to the source: young people, their families, and involved educators. Boske and Osanloo dig beyond media portrayals and knee-jerk reactions to uncover the oppression that shapes bullying, from a range of powerful voices. This book is a must read for educators, social workers, and concerned professionals dedicated to educational solutions to our deepest forms of oppression. – Christopher Knaus, Professor and Director, Educational Leadership at the University of Washington Tacoma School bullying is one of the most detrimental and violent scourges
