Good Boys, Bad Hombres examines the politics of empowerment and inclusion as aspects of youth control in schools. Showing how the promotion of an aspirational form of Latino masculinity is rooted in neoliberal multiculturalism, heteropatriarchy, and antiblackness, Michael V. Singh argues that new narratives and practices are necessary to reimagine Latino manhood in schools and beyond.

Michael V. Singh is an assistant professor in the department of Chicana/o/x Studies at UC Davis. He received his PhD in Education from the University of California, Berkeley. Singh’s research is guided by questions of racial and gender justice in schools, with a specific focus on Latino men and boys.
