Of Boys and Men
Book • 2022
In 'Of Boys and Men,' Richard V. Reeves delves into the complex and urgent crisis of boyhood and manhood.
He discusses how profound economic and social changes have led to many boys and men losing ground in education, the workplace, and family life.
Reeves presents detailed research on the structural challenges, including lower academic performance, declining labor force participation, and the specific hardships faced by black boys and men.
He argues that both conservative and progressive politicians have failed to provide effective solutions and offers fresh, innovative proposals such as delaying boys' entry into school, increasing male teachers, and improving vocational education.
The book emphasizes the need for a positive vision of masculinity in a more equal world without compromising gender equality.
