      In this era of rapid and unsettling change boys now more than ever face difficulties in establishing their self-image and status. In this study, the authors explore how teenage boys from white, African-Caribbean and Asian backgrounds negotiate contemporary uncertainties to construct their gender identities. Drawing theoretical insights about how class, race and ethnicity critically affect the formulation of masculinities throughout, the authors examine: the discrepancies between boys and girls' attitudes and expectations; the split between boys' formal acceptance of politically correct ideas and their informal behaviour amongst the peer group; boys' leisure pursuits including involvement in illegal activities and their selective identification with global youth culture.
