  • Summary

  • What makes a man a man? It sounds like a crazy question, but for the last 50 or so years, the things that were used to describe a man as changed. The women's movement has ushered massive changes in society. Women have moved from traditional roles to being the breadwinners, while men have taken a step back. Women can be whatever they want. There are no limits, yet men's roles as protectors/providers have been usurped with no replacement. In this episode, we asked the question: how do we redefine what it means to be a man in a post-feminist world, specifically what it means for Black men, a group that has struggled with the concept of being a man since our arrival in this country,

    This is the first episode about modern manhood and how we need to reimage what it means to be a man. I want to have this talk after reading " Will to Change" by bell hooks and " Of Boys to Men: Why the Modern Man is Struggling." by Richard Reeves. Both books called for more attention to the plight of the modern male. This podcast will explore some of the issues facing men and some solutions that could address the problems.
