In a world that thrives on aggression and physical force, male
violence has become an all-too-frequent response to the
frustrations and anxieties that fill men's lives. As a result, the
lives of women and children have suffered dramatically, as society
has come to tolerate their victimization.
Using the unique program at the Oakland Men's Project in California
as a basis, Paul Kivel, one of its founding members, shares an
extraordinary approach to stopping male violence. The key is
understanding and evading the cultural forces that box men in and
often reward them for violent behavior. Through exercises,
thought-provoking questions, and intense self-examination, Men's
Work helps men learn new rules and new roles in personal
relationships and in the world at large.
Men's Work gives back to men the power and responsibility they need
to unlearn the lessons of control and aggression. Going beyond the
mythology of the current men's movement, this revolutionary work
identifies and develops the social and political framework on which
to place men's individual efforts to recover their humanity.
