520    Jamil Jivani recounts his experiences working as a youth 
       activist throughout North America and the Middle East, 
       drawing striking parallels between ISIS recruits, 
       gangbangers, and Neo-Nazis in the West. Having narrowly 
       escaped a descent into crime and gang violence in his 
       native Toronto, Jivani has devoted his life to helping 
       other at-risk youths avoid this fate in cities across 
       North America. After the Paris terrorist attacks of 2016, 
       he traveled to Europe and the Middle East to assist Muslim
       community outreach groups focused on deterring ISIS 
       recruitment. Why Young Men is the story of Jivani's 
       education as an activist on the front lines of one of 
       today's most dangerous and intractable problems: the 
       explosion of violence among angry young men throughout the
       world. Jivani relates his personal story and describes his
       entrance into the community outreach movement, his work 
       with disenfranchised people of color in North America and 
       at-risk youth in the Middle East and Africa, and his 
       experiences with the white working class. The reader 
       learns along with him as he profiles a diverse array of 
       young men and interviews those who are trying to help them,
       drawing parallels between these groups, refuting the 
       popular belief that they are radically different from each
       other, and offering concrete steps toward countering this 
       global trend. -- Provided by publisher.
