Childhood, Identity, and Masculinity: The Boarding School Boys delves into the captivating stories of ten Iranian men who were sent to boarding schools in England during the 1960s and 1970s. These narratives, situated at the crossroads of Eastern and Western cultural values, serve as a testament to their journey towards manhood and shed light on the evolving concept of masculinity throughout different eras. Through reflective narratives, the book explores the profound issues of physical and emotional abuse they faced at the hands of administrators and peers, as well as the pervasive man up motto that pressured them to persevere in the face of expectations and become true men.
Narrated within the traditional frameworks of Iranian and British societies, the book highlights essential themes of trauma, survival, resistance, power, and privilege, which had a lasting impact on the men's lives. It offers a rich insight into the developmental challenges adolescent boys encounter as they navigate the trauma of separation from their parents, adhere to strict rules and regulations of boarding school education, and conform to societal expectations.
This volume will appeal to scholars of developmental psychology, childhood trauma, education, cultural psychology, mens studies, and gender. Additionally, individuals and parents interested in, or considering, boarding school education will find the narratives informative and educational.
