Angry White Men by Michael S. Kimmel
American Masculinity at the End of an Era
A sociological examination of the rage among white working-class men that links economic dislocation, shifting gender roles, and perceived loss of status to the rise of reactionary politics and anti-democratic movements; the book traces how cultural myths of masculinity and entitlement fuel hostility toward immigrants, people of color, and women, charts the growth of organized groups—from online manosphere networks to overtly racist and populist movements—and argues that addressing this anger requires both economic reform and a rethinking of what it means to be a man in contemporary America.
