Generation Bullied 2.0 ─ Prevention and Intervention Strategies for Our Most Vulnerable Students

This work for pre- and in-service educators, administrators, and students in education shows the scope of bullying in schools and offers recommendations on preventing and combating bullying and creating positive school cultures. Contributors in special education, English, educational psychology, and queer literacy concentrate on common reasons for bullying: race, weight, sexual harassment, sexual orientation, and physical and mental disability. One chapter is devoted to cyber-bullying, and another chapter asks whether black ritual insults--known as signifying, roasting, or the dozens--should be considered bullying and victimization among black youth.
