Am Tag nach den Pariser Terroranschlägen 2015 eröffnete der achtundzwanzig Jahre alte Kanadier Jamil Jivani die Zeitung, um festzustellen, dass ihm die verantwortlichen Männer vertraut waren. Er kannte sie nicht, aber die Gemeinschaften, in denen sie aufgewachsen sind, und die Herausforderungen, denen sie ausgesetzt waren, spiegelten die Umstände seines eigenen Lebens wider. Jivani reiste im Februar 2016 nach Belgien, um die Wurzeln der Jihadi-Radikalisierung besser zu verstehen. Weniger als zwei Monate später fiel Brüssel einem Terroranschlag von jungen Männern, die in derselben Nachbarschaft lebten, zum Opfer.
Jivani wuchs in einer überwiegend einwandernden Gemeinschaft in Toronto auf, die erhebliche Integrationsprobleme hatte. Da er mit einem weitgehend abwesenden Vater aufgewachsen ist, weiß er, was es heißt, die Zukunft eines Mannes zu beobachten, die von der Gangsterkultur oder radikalen Ideologien im Zusammenhang mit dem Islam beeinflusst wird. Jivani befand sich an einer Kreuzung: Er konnte der Art von Leben folgen, von der wir zu oft in den Medien hören, oder er könnte sich für eine sichere, wohlhabende Zukunft entscheiden. Er entschied sich für Letzteres, besuchte Yale und wurde Anwalt, Professor an der Osgoode Hall Law School und ein mächtiger Redner für die entrechteten Menschen.
Warum Young Men kein Memoir, sondern ein Buch mit Ideen ist, das einen positiven Weg verfolgt und ein konintuitives, oft provokatives Argument für eine Veränderung des Meeres in der Art und Weise, wie wir junge Männer betrachten und wie sie sich selbst sehen.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The day after the 2015 Paris terror attacks, twenty-eight-year-old Canadian Jamil Jivani opened the newspaper to find that the men responsible were familiar to him. He didn't know them, but the communities they grew up in and the challenges they faced mirrored the circumstances of his own life. Jivani travelled to Belgium in February 2016 to better understand the roots of jihadi radicalization. Less than two months later, Brussels fell victim to a terrorist attack carried out by young men who lived in the same neighbourhood as him. Jivani was raised in a mostly immigrant community in Toronto that faced significant problems with integration. Having grown up with a largely absent father, he knows what it is to watch a man's future influenced by gangster culture or radical ideologies associated with Islam. 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. He opted for the latter, attending Yale and becoming a lawyer, a professor at Osgoode Hall Law School and a powerful speaker for the disenfranchised. 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 sea change in the way we look at young men, and for how they see themselves. Written by a young man who was once at risk of falling for the allure of extremism, Why Young Men is a book of ideas that offers a counterintuitive, often provocative argument for a sea change in the way we look at young men.
