Description

Richard Reeves tackles the complex crisis of boyhood and manhood in this thought-provoking book. Profound economic and social changes of recent decades have many men losing ground in the classroom, the workplace, and in the family. The author argues that our attitudes, institutions, and laws have failed to keep up with the needs of boys and men.

Reeves examines the structural challenges facing boys and men and offers fresh and innovative solutions to turn the page on the corrosive narrative that plagues this issue. He makes the case that helping the other half of society does not mean giving up on the ideal of gender equality.

This book is a timely and important contribution to the conversation about the modern male. It is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the challenges faced by men and finding ways to address them.
