The The Macho Paradox by Jackson Katz
Recent studies tell us that between 1 in 4 and 1 in 6 American women will be the victim of rape or attempted rape in her lifetime. This is the first book to make the case that violence against women is a male issue as well as a female one-and that men who care have an obligation to better understand it and to do something about it. Pioneering anti-violence educator Jackson Katz offers cogent explanations for why so many men harass and hurt women-including those women closest to them-and he shows both women and men what they can do to stop the violence.The book incorporates the voices and experiences of women and men who have confronted the problem of gender violence from all angles, specifically highlighting what works and what does not work in dealing with this issue. By working together as allies, Katz shows both men and women how they can end the abuse and mistreatment of women.
Jackson Katz is known around the world for his innovative work in preventing gender violence among men and boys, notably in sports and the military. He is a cofounder of Northeastern University's Center for the Study of Sports in Society's Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) program. MVP is most commonly associated with collegiate sports, however the 2005 Super Bowl champion New England Patriots and the 2004 World Series champion Boston Red Sox have also utilized it. Katz also oversees the United States Marine Corps' first-ever global gender violence prevention program. Millions of college and high school students have learned about masculinity and gender violence thanks to his award-winning educational video Tough Guide, his appearances in the films Wrestling with Manhood and Spin the Bottle, and his statewide lectures.
He has talked in forty-three states since 1990 at over nine hundred colleges, prep schools, high schools, middle schools, professional conferences, and military institutions. He was born in Boston and now resides in the Los Angeles region with his family. Visit www.jacksonkatz.com for additional details.
