Jungen und Männer haben es schwer. Die tiefgreifenden wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Veränderungen der letzten Jahrzehnte haben dazu geführt, dass viele von ihnen im Klassenzimmer, am Arbeitsplatz und in der Familie an Boden verloren haben. Während sich das Leben der Frauen verbessert hat, ist das Leben vieler Männer gleich geblieben oder hat sich sogar verschlechtert. Der Autor, Vater von drei Söhnen, befasst sich in diesem Buch mit den strukturellen Herausforderungen, denen sich Jungen und Männer heute in der westlichen Welt gegenübersehen, und bietet neue und innovative Lösungen an, die die zugrunde liegenden Traditionen aufbrechen. Of Boys and Men betont, dass die Unterstützung der Männer nicht bedeutet, das Ideal der Gleichstellung der Geschlechter aufzugeben. „Ein Meilenstein, eines der wichtigsten Bücher des Jahres“ - David Brooks, New York Times. „Echte, praktische Lösungen, um eine Welt zu schaffen, die für uns alle besser wäre, über das gesamte Geschlechterspektrum hinweg.“ - Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO, New America und Autorin von Unfinished Business: Women, Men, Work, Family. „Eines der besten Bücher des Jahres 2022.“ - The New Yorker

"A landmark, one of the most important books of the year" -- David Brooks, New York Times "Real, practical, solutions to create a world that would be better for all of us, across the gender spectrum." -- Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO, New America and author of Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family A positive vision for masculinity in a more equal world. Boys and men are struggling. Profound economic and social changes of recent decades have many losing ground in the classroom, the workplace, and in the family. While the lives of women have changed, the lives of many men have remained the same or even worsened. Our attitudes, our institutions, and our laws have failed to keep up. Conservative and progressive politicians, mired in their own ideological warfare, fail to provide thoughtful solutions. The father of three sons, a journalist, and a Brookings Institution scholar, Richard V. Reeves has spent twenty-five years worrying about boys both at home and work. His new book, Of Boys and Men, tackles the complex and urgent crisis of boyhood and manhood. Reeves looks at the structural challenges that face boys and men and offers fresh and innovative solutions that turn the page on the corrosive narrative that plagues this issue. Of Boys and Men argues that helping the other half of society does not mean giving up on the ideal of gender equality.
