Title: Dude, You're a Fag: Masculinity and Sexuality in High School (2012)
Author: C J Pascoe
ISBN: 9780520271487
Publisher: University of California Press
Published: 2011
Binding: Paperback
Language: English
Edition: Second Edition, With a New Preface
Number of Pages: 250
Publisher Description: High school and the difficult terrain of sexuality and gender identity are brilliantly explored in this smart, incisive ethnography. Based on eighteen months of fieldwork in a racially diverse working-class high school, <i>Dude, You're a Fag </i>sheds new light on masculinity both as a field of meaning and as a set of social practices. C. J. Pascoe's unorthodox approach analyzes masculinity as not only a gendered process but also a sexual one. She demonstrates how the "specter of the fag" becomes a disciplinary mechanism for regulating heterosexual as well as homosexual boys and how the "fag discourse" is as much tied to gender as it is to sexuality.
