Book cover of Angry White Men: American Masculinity at the End of an Era

Book description

Why read it?

1 author picked Angry White Men as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Because he also interviews men who have left neo-Nazi organizations, he leaves us with a very hopeful message.

From Michael's list on the lives of men in the era of feminism.
