About This Item
New Brunswick: Transaction Publishers. Very Good+. 1996. Second Revised Edition. Paperback. Noticeable bow to text block.; The book follows five boys as they grow and strive in Roxbury, Massachusetts in the racial and political turmoil of the late 60s and early 70s. In socially and physically decaying environments they developed different styles of coping with adversity. Despite some commonalities, they grew to be very different adults, and the Epilogue by Bernard E. Bruce traces the path from boy to man for each of the five. The Foreword is by Richard Majors, Research Fellow at Michigan State University. The author was an instructor in Sociology at The George Washington University. The President Emeritus of the publisher sums the book thus: "Pathways to Manhood is a major piece of work. It stands alongside the efforts of a very few sociologists - like Whyte and Liebow - who have taken the time and effort to study what is perhaps a core issue in American life, and to do so, straight, no chaser as Monk's tune has it." This is the "Expanded" 2nd Edition with additional content and graphics. List of References. Well-indexed. Perfect bound in illustrated, stiff paper covers. Clean and conservatively Very Good+; Charts & Graphs; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 367 pages .
