He/Him
Publisher: Kosmos
Survival guide for men in times of emancipation and gender insecurity
The man. Warrior. Hunter. Breadwinner. Centuries-lon self-evident crown of creation. But that privileged position is faltering. Masculinity is seen as something toxic, or an extreme on a spectrum. Men are more likely to struggle with depression or addiction and are overtaken by women in education. Displaced young men seek affirmation online from radical figures.
In He/Him, Jerry Goossens explores with pace and humor the shelf life of men, based on scientific and historical sources, with reports, interviews and personal reflections. For anyone who wants to understand the phenomenon of man.

‘A compelling satire of ideas about immigration, racism and identity and also a beautiful love story.’ – Algemeen Dagblad on To Blood on the Dry Land
