Description
Patriarchy Blues: A Scorching Treatise on Toxic Masculinity In this personal and poignant collection, Frederick Joseph examines the culture of masculinity through the lens of a Black man, exploring the complex realities of men's lives today and their significance for society. Joseph tackles issues of masculinity and patriarchy from both a personal and cultural standpoint, delving into topics such as fatherhood, abuse, and therapy. Through a unique voice, intelligence, and raw honesty, Joseph fearlessly and thoughtfully considers the joys, pains, and destructive nature of manhood and the stereotypes it engenders. This thought-provoking collection of essays, poems, and short reflections offers a clear-eyed reckoning of the author's own place within the patriarchy, and invites readers to consider the impact of toxic masculinity on individuals and society. With a rigorous vision for living, Patriarchy Blues is a moving and inspiring exploration of what it means to be a man today.
