Book Synopsis
From both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, the author paints an intimate portrait of how students and teachers actually cope, in real time, with the chronic stress, peer group dynamics, and subtle power politics of urban educational spaces in the perpetual shadow of aggression.

Trade Review
"Toxic Schools is an ambitious and original treatment of violence in inner-city schools, distinguished by Bowen Paulle's sophisticated integration of theoretical constructs throughout the discussion of his empirical materials. This highly instructive cross-site comparison will appeal not just to scholars of education and school administrators. It is relayed in such visceral terms that it will likely appeal to a broad readership as well." (Peter Ibarra, University of Illinois at Chicago)"
