Why Young Men

the long version

This "is the story of Jivani's education as an activist on the front lines of one of today's most dangerous and intractable problems: the explosion of violence among angry young men throughout the world. [He] relates his personal story and describes his entrance into the community outreach movement, his work with disenfranchised people of color in North America and at-risk youth in the Middle East and Africa, and his experiences with the white working class. [He] profiles a diverse array of young men and interviews those who are trying to help them, drawing parallels between these groups, [arguing against the] belief that they are radically different from each other, and offering ... steps toward countering this global trend"--Publisher marketing.
