Description
The Book that Sparked a National Conversation
A Barack Obama 2024 Summer Reading Selection
An Economist Best Book of 2022
A New Yorker Best Book of 2022
Boys and men are struggling. Profound economic and social changes in recent decades have left many losing ground in the classroom, the workplace, and within the family. While the lives of women have changed, the lives of many men have remained the same or even worsened.
In this widely praised book, Richard Reeves, father of three sons, a journalist, and now the president of the American Institute for Boys and Men, addresses the complex and urgent crisis of boyhood and manhood. He argues that our attitudes, institutions, and laws have failed to keep up. Conservative and progressive politicians, entrenched in their ideological battles, fail to offer thoughtful solutions.
Reeves examines the structural challenges facing boys and men and presents fresh, innovative solutions that challenge the corrosive narrative surrounding this issue. Of Boys and Men argues that supporting the other half of society does not compromise the ideal of gender equality. In the updated paperback edition, Reeves provides a good-faith, fact-based analysis and offers a positive vision for masculinity in a more equal world.
