Why read it?

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

Michael Kimmel’s brilliant book is a powerful critique of the hateful beliefs and actions of these men, but manages to speak about them with empathy. 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.
