Reviews
"""Brotherhood University offers a complex, honest, and insightful analysis of the challenges young Black men face in college, in their careers, and in their romantic relationships. Jackson contradicts stereotypes of men in general and Black men in particular; he also complicates what other scholars have documented about socialization and masculinity. The book makes important and original contributions in understanding the experiences of Black men on college campuses, adding to our understandings of race, gender, friendship, and emotions."" --Janice McCabe ""author of Connecting in College: How Friendship Networks Matter for Academic and Social Success"" ""In a culture that too often depicts Black men only as criminals or athletes, Brotherhood University provides a fresh, welcome new look at race, gender, and masculinity. Brandon Jackson shows us how Black college-age men wrestle with a complicated educational environment, prepare for a predominantly white work force, and form lifelong bonds with each other. This is a beautifully written book that shows young Black men's resilience, vulnerability, and ingenuity in an environment that rarely recognizes these traits.""--Adia Harvey Wingfield ""author of Gray Areas: How the Way We Work Perpetuates Racism and What We Can Do to Fix It"""
