This book tells the story of several ninth grade students and teachers, as they developed specific identities and learned about history and literature over an academic year. It provides both a theoretical and an empirical account of how the processes of social identification and academic learning contributed to each other, such that students' identities and their learning became inextricable. In light of this inextricability, the book reexamines the traditional opposition between academic and non-academic aspects of classroom life.
