- This 80,000 word monograph investigates the covert mechanisms of domination and racism amongst boys in three primary schools. It is the first research to focus on how discrimination operates between young boys in the Irish education system. Drawing on an in-depth ethnography conducted 2008-2011, it presents a new way to theorise how racism functions within schools. The book argues for the centrality of the body and embodiment for examining children’s racism. It introduces the psycho-social concept of ‘double estrangement’ and uniquely argues that conceptions of authenticity, masculinity and locality serves to disguise racism within the school institution.
