Description
Amateur: A True Story about what Makes a Man by Thomas Page McBee is a groundbreaking exploration of masculinity and its relationship with violence. Through his experience boxing, wrestling with gender stereotypes and the limitations of conventional masculinity, McBee examines the weight of male violence and the need for change. As he trains to fight in a charity match at Madison Square Garden, McBee confronts the complexities of his own body and the camaraderie of the gym. This is a story of hope, as McBee traces a new way forward, one that challenges traditional notions of masculinity and offers a more inclusive and compassionate understanding of what it means to be a man. In this powerful and thought-provoking book, McBee shares his journey towards healing and self-discovery, shedding light on the stereotypes and shifting realities of masculinity in our society today.
