Of Boys and Men: Why the modern male is struggling, why it matters, and what to do about it. Richard V. Reeves. 2022. Evan Osnos of the New Yorker calls it "provocative, timely, and rich with real-world solutions." It's a Barack Obama 2024 Summer Reading Selection. We've been reading a lot of books about women's issues. This would provide a good balance. Has a strong grounding in the idea that males are oppressed as males. Our discussion could be lively. The meeting will take place on Zoom. Contact graf@sou.edu for zoom information.
