"Although there are some books that begin to talk about issues related to bullying, there are few texts that directly take on bullying as a social justice issue. This book is on the cutting edge of the field and will help guide much of the content for anti-bullying programming in schools, and create school and social policy that is lacking in this area." -Toni Zimmerman, Colorado State University, USA"Brinkman provides a brief, well-organized, and timely book on a fairly new topic. Parents and educators who are willing to tackle this controversial topic, especially as it applies to sexual identity-based bullying, will find it very useful. Its brevity makes it easy to read." - Stephen A. Truhon, PsycCRITIQUES
