ANGRY WHITE MEN - MICHAEL KIMMEL KARTONIERT (TB)

We hear them on talk radio airwaves bellowing about minorities. We watch them organize
anti-immigration demonstrations on the border. We read their opinions regarding the demise of
white male privilege. And sometimes  tragically  we witness their aggression through vigilante
violence  as in the cases of Wade Michael Page  James Eagan Holmes  Elliot Rodger  George
Zimmerman  and many more. They are America's angry white men  including men's rights activists
who think white men are the victims of discrimination  as well as members of the white wing of
the rightward fringes of the American political spectrum. Why are they so angry?Sociologist
Michael Kimmel  one of the leading writers on men and masculinity in the world today  has spent
hundreds of hours in the company of America's angry white men in pursuit of an answer. Raised
to expect unparalleled social and economic privilege  white men are suffering today from what
Kimmel calls aggrieved entitlement: a sense that those benefits that white men believed were
their due have been snatched away from them. In Angry White Men  Kimmel presents a
comprehensive diagnosis of their fears  anxieties  and rage.
