Bøker av Jeffrey (Assistant Professor of Sociology Guhin

Based on a year and a half of ethnographic observation and interviews with teachers and students atfour high schools in the New York City area - two of them Sunni Muslim and two EvangelicalChristian -, sociologist Jeffrey Guhin argues that these schools use politics, gender, sex, and theinternet to separate themselves from the rest of America, a country they view as both a promise and athreat. In examining these boundaries, he describes how the schools use scripture, prayer, andscience as a means of maintaining their authority over the students' lives.
