"Latham and Ferdows give voice to boys traumatised by boarding school experiences, and to the men they have become. Their stories examine the boarding school experience, typified by power, fear, violence, intimidation and bullying, and the legacy of those experiences, which include insecure attachments, developmental trauma, emotional apathy and a search for solace. This is essentially a book about masculinity told by two female ex-boarders.
The notion of masculinity poses a challenge for us all, especially for boys growing up to become men, and especially for boys growing up in boarding schools. This book confronts the challenge prudently." Jeanine Connor, Editor BACP Children, Young People & Families, child & adolescent psychotherapist, and author of Stop F*cking Nodding
"... reports an investigation into the childhood experiences of men from Iran who were sent to boarding school in the U.K. during the 60s and 70s. I found this book to be a very sad but all too familiar story of how these boys were made to feel ashamed of their natural human emotions and vulnerabilities. The authors have elicited the ways in which these men have come to value and valorize their traumatic separation from their families and abuse at the hands of school administrators and bullying boys in the service of having made them into 'real men'. Soosan Latham and Roya Ferdows offer their knowledgeable and compassionate approach to understanding such men." Ronald F.
