Description
Summary:This is the story of Jivani's education as an activist on the front lines of one of today's most dangerous and intractable problems, the explosion of violence among angry young men throughout the world. He relates his personal story and describes his entrance into the community outreach movement, his work with disenfranchised people of color in North America and at-risk youth in the Middle East and Africa and his experiences with the white working class. He profiles a diverse array of young men and interviews those who are trying to help them, drawing parallels between these groups, arguing against the belief that they are radically different from each other, and offering steps toward countering this global trend.
