Angry White Men

Sociologist Michael Kimmel explores the rise of anger among white American men in the wake of recent political and social shifts, analyzing how economic decline, increased diversity, and evolving gender roles have contributed to a sense of loss and betrayal. Drawing on extensive interactions with men across the country, Kimmel discusses the concept of "aggrieved entitlement," highlighting how traditional views of masculinity and privilege are influencing contemporary attitudes. This thought-provoking work offers insights into the social dynamics shaping modern American masculinity and political landscape.
