Description
The Angry White Man: Understanding American Masculinity at Its End. In recent years, sociologist Michael Kimmel has spent hundreds of hours with white American men from various backgrounds to understand their fears, anxieties, and rage. He identifies this increase in anger as a response to significant economic, social, and political shifts that have transformed the American landscape. Kimmel argues that many white men are suffering from "aggrieved entitlement", feeling betrayed and bewildered as traditional benefits of masculinity have been taken away. This sense of loss is linked to downward mobility, increased racial and gender equality, and a clinging to outdated ideologies of masculinity. The election of Donald Trump highlights the power of angry white men in shaping history. This book offers a comprehensive diagnosis of the concerns driving this group and proposes solutions that can address the needs of all Americans.
