What does it really mean to be a man today? The topic of modern manhood has been at the forefront of our media and politics for several decades now. It has become a totem of the culture war, hotly debated again and again in both public and private spaces. More recently, the conversation has become extreme and divisive, with each side harboring wildly different beliefs on what a man might be, leaving little room for compromise. Between the weight of expectation and the restrictive force of the patriarchy pressing down on them, it is no wonder that so many men today feel stuck. But these debates on modern manhood often fail to consider the actual lives of men themselves: how do they live their lives day to day? Who do they love? What are their dreams? Jordan Ritter Conn's American Men is an exploration of the rarely-discussed details of men's real lives. Written from the perspectives of four very different men, Ryan, Gideon, Joseph and Nate, the book explores the male psyche as each of them experiences trauma and recovery, violence, sex, power and powerlessness, as well as the difficulties of forming relationships in the context of contemporary life. In part a condemnation of its faults, as well as a celebration of its virtues, American Men presents a truthful, balanced portrait of manhood and masculinity, as it exists today.
