Generation BULLIED 2.0
Prevention and Intervention Strategies for Our Most Vulnerable Students
Series:
sj Miller, Leslie David Burns and Tara Star Johnson
Bullying is a contemporary wildfire of a social problem that continues to burn, scar, and even kill U.S. schoolchildren on a daily basis. Not only do the targets of bullying suffer in their abilities to grow, learn and succeed; so do bystanders, and even the bullies themselves.
Generation BULLIED 2.0 details the nature of bullying as a tremendously negative force in schools today and offers practical, research-based strategies for constructing and cultivating cultures that support learning, safety, and dignity for everyone. Analyzing the nature and inadequacy of current anti-bullying policies,
Generation BULLIED 2.0 explores how stereotyping and other negative behaviors are reinforced and sustained in both large and small ways at school. Its critical narratives of commonly bullied individuals and groups are representative of events that transpire every day across the country’s education system. Focusing on the most common targets of bullying: race, gender, sexual orientation, physical appearance, physical and mental disability, and cyber-abuse, this book does not offer simplistic solutions. Instead, it offers empowerment to readers while providing tools for elevating social justice and preventing bullying from taking root as a supposedly «normal» part of life in our society.
«This book intervenes in the national epidemic of bullying in ways both exemplary in its analysis and hopeful in its call
to action. Miller, Burns, and Johnson bring together a collection of scholars and advocates whose analyses and insights both
deepen and complicate our understandings of bullying in its various and overlapping forms, of student experiences along multiple
and intersected dimensions of diversity, and of what can be and is being done to make schools and communities more safe and
inclusive for each and every student. Generation BULLIED 2.0 is a clarion call to action—read it today and join the
movement!» (Kevin Kumashiro, author of Bad Teacher!: How Blaming Teachers Distorts the Bigger Picture)
«Generation
BULLIED 2.0 takes personal stories of our most vulnerable youth to illustrate what must be done from the federal level
to the classroom. Bullying is not and has never been solely a school issue, and Generation BULLIED 2.0 takes on the societal
and cultural roots of bullying. This book will begin a conversation about what must be done to ensure all of our students
are not only safe but also feel welcome in our nation’s schools.» (Jamie Nabozny, Safe School Advocate)
«Generation
BULLIED 2.0 is not only a powerful text, it is a necessary one. Despite the so-called ‘new-openness’ the society professes
around notions of difference and diversity, school-aged children and youth are still battling to be accepted for who they
are and who they are becoming. In far too many schools it is acceptable to bully and harass students based on their sexuality
and gender identity. This has to stop and this volume says it loudly, cogently, and clearly.» (Gloria Ladson-Billings, Professor,
