520    "When Judy Y. Chu first encountered the four-year-old boys
       we meet in this book, they were experiencing a social 
       initiation into boyhood. They were initially astute in 
       picking up on other people's emotions, emotionally present
       in their relationships, and competent in their navigation 
       of the human social world. However, the boys gradually 
       appeared less perceptive, articulate, and responsive, and 
       became more guarded and subdued in their relationships as 
       they learned to prove that they are boys primarily by 
       showing that they are not girls. Based on a two-year study
       of boys aged four to six, When Boys Become Boys offers a 
       new way of thinking about boys' development. Chu finds 
       that behaviors typically viewed as "natural" for boys 
       reflect an adaptation to cultures that require boys to be 
       emotionally stoic, competitive, and aggressive if they are
       to be accepted as "real boys." Yet even as boys begin to 
       reap the social benefits of aligning with norms of 
       masculine behavior, they pay a psychological and 
       relational price for hiding parts of their authentic 
       selves. Through documenting boys' perceptions of the 
       obstacles they face and the pressures they feel to conform,
       and showing that their compliance with norms of masculine 
       behavior is neither automatic nor inevitable, this 
       accessible and engaging book provides insight into ways in
       which adults can foster boys' healthy resistance and help 
       them to access a broader range of options for expressing 
       themselves"--|cProvided by publisher.
