Mark Anthony Neal

i'm here at red emma's at the baltimore book festival and i'm sitting with dr mark anthony neal brother mark it's so great to have you back here in baltimore man i know i only got you for a second and you know we're talking about your incredible new book save a seat for me notes on american fatherhood and i was thinking as another father in america in 2026 You know, I wanted to ask you, like, you know, it doesn't take PhDs like we have to know that we've got a real frickin crisis in this country with men and masculinity and masculine culture and fatherhood and like, you know, or we have a whole lot of crises that men are experiencing but aren't dealing with well.

So like, what do you make of all this? What do we do about it? And like, what is your book? How can your book help us get there?

I think we have tried, America has tried, to raise generations of warriors, if you will, to be on the front lines of American imperialism.
