Description
Thomas Page McBee's "Amateur" is a no-holds-barred examination of masculinity and its impact on society. Through his experience training for and fighting in a charity boxing match, McBee sets out to uncover what makes a man and challenge the limitations of traditional gender roles. In this refreshing and radical narrative, McBee explores sexism, toxic masculinity, and privilege, questioning the roots of masculine aggression and finding intimacy and hope in the process. With interviews from experts in neuroscience, sociology, and critical race theory, McBee constructs a thoughtful examination of the role of men in contemporary society. A powerful look at gender, "Amateur" is a reminder that individuals can still come forward and fight for change, even in the face of personal history and cultural expectations.
