The geeks shall inherit the earth : popularity, quirk theory, and why outsiders thrive after high school
Böcker. New York : Hyperion.
In her book, Alexandra Robbins explores the ways group identity theories play out among cliques - and the students they exclude. She reveals the new labels students stick onto each other today, the long-term effects of this marginalization, and the reasons students falling under these categories are often shunned
