Bodies. 330 $aThis is a book about boys? bodies, masculinities, and the ways in which boys navigate their lives from early childhood through to the beginning of adolescence. Drummond focuses on sport, health and physical activity, and adds context to the history of male bodies, the social construction of masculinity and the role of sport as a potential rite of passage for young males. Using rich descriptive interview data with 33 boys from the ages of 5 to 13, collected over an 8- year period, Boys? Bodies identifies important issues including the significance of muscularity and strength as signifiers of masculinity and the need for boys to be involved in ?blood sports? as well as ?beat girls? in sporting competitions. The meaning of health and the perception of boys? changing bodies over time are central to the discussion. The book will appeal to researchers, teachers, practitioners, policy makers and parents. 606 $aSex 606 $aHuman body$xSocial aspects 606 $aSports$xSociological aspects 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aSociology of the Body 606 $aSport Sociology 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aHuman body$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSports$xSociological aspects. 615 14$aGender Studies. 615 24$aSociology of the Body. 615 24$aSport Sociology. 676 $a305.3 700 $aDrummond$b Murray$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0942271 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910370047903321 996 $aBoys' Bodies$92126290 997 $aUNINA
