Critics Review
“The moral center of Keith Berry’s Bullied is located in his deep reflexive and empathetic capacities. This book is a must read for anyone who has ever been touch by bullying and for anyone who believes puzzling through a troubling social issue with intelligence, sensitivity, and compassion moves us closer to our better selves.” – Ronald Pelias, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Speech Communication at Southern Illinois University
“With Bullied, Keith Berry continues to establish himself as an expert of youth, identity, and interpersonal communication; an advocate for personal narrative, reflexivity, and social justice; and a practitioner committed to making life better, especially for those living with tormented pasts.” –Tony E. Adams, Associate Professor and Chair of Department of Communication, Media, and Theatre at Northeastern Illinois University
“This book moves beyond simple definitions and statistics, showing through rich narrative what youth bullying looks like and feels like in living color. The result is a poignant contribution that exposes the heartbreak that accompanies maltreatment, reveals the resiliency of the human spirit, and provides insight on autoethnographic methodological practice.“—Sarah J. Tracy, Professor at the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication at Arizona State University
