Patriarchy Blues with Frederick Joseph

Frederick Joseph is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Black Friend. Fred examines the culture of masculinity through the lens of a Black man. He asks questions - and gives answers - to some hard questions. What does it mean to be a man today? How does the pervasive yet elusive idea of "masculine toxicity" actually reflect men's experiences--particularly those of color - and how they navigate the world?

In this thought-provoking collection of essays, poems, and short reflections, Frederick Joseph contemplates these questions and more as he explores issues of masculinity and patriarchy from both a personal and cultural standpoint. From fatherhood, and "manning up" to abuse and therapy, he fearlessly and thoughtfully tackles the complex realities of men's lives today and their significance for society, lending his insights as a Black man.

Join me for a conversation with Fred as we talk about his book Patriarchy Blues, his best-selling book The Black Friend, his challenges being an activist - and a Black man - on social media, and so much more.
