What does it mean to be a good man To be a good father or a good partner A good brother or a good friend
In this insightful analysis social historian Ivan Jablonka offers a reexamination of the patriarchy and its impact on men Ranging widely across cultures from Mesopotamia to Confucianism to Christianity to the revolutions of the eighteenth century Jablonka uncovers the origins of our patriarchal societies He then offers an updated model of masculinity based on a theory of gender justice which aims for a redistribution of gender just as social justice demands the redistribution of wealth
Arguing that it is high time for men to be as involved in gender justice as women Jablonka shows that in order to build a more equal and respectful society we must gain a deeper understanding of the structure of patriarchy and reframe the conversation so that men define themselves by the rights of women Widely acclaimed in France this is an important work from a major thinker
