Description
Join us in celebrating the launch of Brotherhood Is a Constant Possibility: Asian Masculinity in a World Made for Whiteness, the debut from Vancouver-based author Ryan Cho. Drawing from his own experiences and interviews with other Asian men and nonbinary people, Cho explores how culture, sexuality and race combine to influence identity.
Along the way, he meets people redefining what masculinity means to them and discusses what we can do to steward a version of masculinity that is inclusive, progressive and authentic.
Candid, challenging and personal, Brotherhood Is a Constant Possibility is part memoir, part research and social analysis, inviting readers to question the roles Asian men have been allowed to play and to imagine broader and more nuanced ways of thinking about masculinity and men.
This event is free, but please RSVP here as capacity is limited. For every book bought, the author will donate $10 to the Dude’s Club of Vancouver or House of Rice. Hope to see you there!
