Summary:
Twenty-eight-year-old Canadian Jamil Jivani found that the men responsible for the Paris and Brussels attacks were familiar to him via the communities they grew up in and the challenges they faced. Jivani found himself at a crossroads: he could follow the kind of life we hear about too often in the media, or he could choose a safe, prosperous future. This is not a memoir but a book of ideas that pursues a positive path and offers a counterintuitive, often provocative argument for a sea change in the way we look at young men, and for how they see themselves. Residence: Toronto, ON. Print run 6,000.
