C.J. Pascoe is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Colorado College.

“This insightful peek into the realities of high school should be read by researchers, administrators, teachers, and parents. . . . Pascoe’s analysis is sophisticated, mapping the intricacies involved in the relationships between sexuality, gender, race, and class. Yet, her work is clean-cut and difficult to argue against.”

   Rekomenderas starkt!

   Boken beskriver hur och varför epitetet bög (fag) används i killars jargonger och gruppdynamiker i skolan. En mycket informationsrik bok om man är intresserad av varför killar kallar varandra för bög i sina skämtjargonger.
