Chapter 1Introduction

Ward, Michael R. M.

Pages: 1 –20

[This book describes the lives of a group of young working-class men in a de-industrialized community in the South Wales Valleys (UK). Using a longitudinal ethnographic approach, I focus on how young men’s masculinities are performed across a variety of educational and leisure spaces and indicate...

Chapter 2The Valleys: History, Modernity and Masculinities

Ward, Michael R. M.

Pages: 21 –38

[In this chapter, I focus on the town of Cwm Dyffryn and the surrounding area to enable what follows in subsequent chapters to be considered in the economic, social and political context of this formerly industrial place. Most, if not all, of the young men featured in this study (and their...

Chapter 3The Valley Boiz: Re-Traditionalizing Masculinity

Ward, Michael R. M.

Pages: 39 –71

[In the opening chapters of this book, I outlined how the South Wales Valleys were once major contributors to the British coal industry, but due to economic restructuring in the 1980s, there has been a drastic transformation in the relationship between employment and masculinity. Men once earned...

Chapter 4The Geeks: Studious Working-Class Masculinities

Ward, Michael R. M.

Pages: 72 –94

Chapter 5The Emos: Alternative Masculinities?

Ward, Michael R. M.

Pages: 95 –105

[As I have shown in this book, the shift to adulthood for young working-class men in particular was once inextricably linked to labour. However, due to economic restructuring over the past half century, in places like Cwm Dyffryn working-class young men are now no longer likely to directly enter...

Chapter 6Working-Class Masculinities in Vocational Education and Training Courses

Ward, Michael R. M.

Pages: 106 –128

[We have seen how The Valley Boiz, The Geeks and The Emos performed different versions of working-class masculinity in Cwm Dyffryn High School. I also looked at how their masculine identities were further constructed through different social interactions and leisure activities beyond the school...

Chapter 7Jimmy the Chameleon: Multiple Performances of Self

Ward, Michael R. M.

Pages: 129 –148

[In this book, we have seen the diversity that existed between a large group of young men within a de-industrial community. I have argued that in a variety of settings, spaces and in different social interactions, multiple regions of masculinity are displayed by these young men. These...

Chapter 8Conclusion: Growing Up into Uncertain Futures

Ward, Michael R. M.

Pages: 149 –158

[The restructuring of the economy and the de-industrialization process that has occurred during the last 40 years has altered traditional transitions from school to work across the global north. These economic changes have been accompanied by a set of common held assumptions that men are the new...

Chapter 9Epilogue

Ward, Michael R. M.

Pages: 159 –160

[The 35 young men that made up the core of the study have had a mixture of futures since the fieldwork ended. Three were to leave school before the completion of their courses (Jonesy, Steveo and Davies) and two of these were to return to the Sixth Form again to resit some of their subjects (Sin...
