First,inspired by the Boske and Osanloos vision, the contributors discuss bullying as preciselywhat it is: not an interpersonal challenge, not a cross-cultural tension, notan issue that can be confl ict-mediated away, but a social justice concern that isconnected to bigger societal conditions and injustices. Secondly, Boske and Osanlooreject the idea that academics are the experts of everybodys experiences, and so theyopen the space on the pages of their book to the targets of bullying and their on-thegroundadvocates. The result is revolutionary. If you think you understand bullying, Idare you to read this book.- Paul Gorski, Founder, EdChange, & Associate Professor, Integrative Studies atGeorge Mason Universitye of Boske and Osanloos approach to identifying the crisis of bullying inour society lives within the personal stories shared in this book.
