""In this field-defining ethnography, Michael V. Singh presents a groundbreaking exploration of the complexities of race, masculinity, discipline, and neoliberalism in urban education, challenging conventional notions of mentorship and Latino boyhood. Through meticulous research, Good Boys, Bad Hombres reveals the nuanced ways in which empowerment strategies intertwine with racial and gender dynamics, offering a critical perspective on the reconfiguration of Latino manhood in contemporary society."" —Victor M. Ríos, University of California, Santa Barbara   ""What a gift! Compelling and timely, Good Boys, Bad Hombres provides a rich theoretical analysis of how racial neoliberalism, patriarchy, and antiquated notions of manhood shape educational narratives about Latino boys. This groundbreaking work has consequential implications for theorizing race, ethnicity, education, and youth work practice inside and outside schools. Offering a powerful and necessary critique of the racial politics that inform mentorship programs, Michael V. Singh provides a path forward to center love and dignity in educational spaces for Latino boys."" —Bianca J. Baldridge, Harvard University
