Based on Dr. Herb Robinson's lifetime of facilitating human development and reconciliation for over thirty-five years served as a counselor for couples in conflict and their families; a college teacher in Philosophy, Art History, and Music History; has over twenty years directing programs for court mandated men arrested for domestic violence, Through the Eyes of Wounded Men examines the masculinity stereotype throughout history from hunting and gathering societies, to potential gender power-sharing in America. It traces the differences in male/female psychological and social development-years one to three. Six men's life stories reveal their interior viewpoints of courting an intimate partner, living together, conflict, physical abuse, arrests, jail and outcomes of treatment. The study proposes a treatment model for dealing with male internal psychological constructs regarding their difficulty in differentiating affect.

In what will surely become a classic of South African non-fiction, Led by Shepherds begins with twelve-year-old Jeffrey Rakabe leaving his village to attend an initiation ceremony, believing it to be the key to his manhood. But the weeks-long rite of passage in the mountains is a far cry from the adventure he’d imagined.

Years later, as a student, Rakabe discovers the nurturing world of books and thrives within the hush of the Johannesburg Public Library.

The presence of caring women in his life, from his concerned mother and supportive partner to a librarian who feeds his intellectual curiosity with a steady supply of literature, spur Rakabe to investigate the possible links between the koma ritual, awash with misogynistic language, and gender-based violence in SA.

Part memoir, part manifesto, Led by Shepherds is a moving, vital and controversial book and Jeffrey Rakabe a brave voice for a new generation.
