#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Across the world, we are seeing an explosion of unpredictable violence committed by alienated young men. Why Young Men is not a memoir but a book of ideas that pursues a positive path and offers a counterintuitive, often provocative argument for a change in the way we look at young men, and for how they see themselves. Jamil Jivani discusses his approach with Richard Cooke.
