“Rebels with a Cause may just be the book we need to save America from itself.”
—Lisa Arrastia, founding director of The Ed Factory and Associate Professor of Education, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts
“
“Rebels With a Cause is a key intervention — as a developmental psychologist of immense experience, Niobe Way is uniquely positioned to unravel the very notions of (masculine) development that bind our society as a whole into structures of violence, exclusion, and isolation; in the often painful testimony of boys and teenagers, she also finds a compass to show us the way home.”
—David Wengrow, co-author of The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity
“
“Reading Niobe Way’s epic new book is one of those experiences that forever changes your understanding of the world you live in. In the mirror it holds up to society and ourselves, we see an urgent, dire need for greater connection, care, and most of all curiosity. The implications of her research create possibilities for dramatic transformation of how we live and how we raise and educate generations to come. Way combines rigorous research with compelling personal stories with inspiring examples of trajectory-changing projects and programs. This is a must-read for anyone who cares about our children, our society, and our future.”
— Jeff Wetzler, Former Chief Educational Officer of Teach for America, Co-Founder of Transcend, and Author of Ask: Tap Into the Hidden Wisdom of People Around You

– Michael Cunningham, professor of psychology and Africana studies, and associate provost for the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies at Tulane UniversityYou
