With frankness and courage, this powerful novel details the pain and lifelong shame this protagonist experiences as a result not only of the physical trauma, but the social ostracism from being labeled ‘a failed man.’ He decodes the mysteries of this long-standing cultural tradition and calls to account the elders for the disintegrating support systems that allow such tragic outcomes. But it is also through this life-changing experience that the protagonist is forced to find his strength and humanity, and reassess what it really means to be a man.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Thando Mgqolozana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43318144729264,"sku":"9781913175023","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/6821\/9056\/files\/81e2Ui3hPYL._SL1500.jpg?v=1711831668"},{"product_id":"men-dont-cry","title":"Men Don't Cry","description":"\u003cdiv aria-expanded=\"true\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWINNER OF THE 2023 SCOTT MONCRIEFF PRIZE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSHORTLISTED FOR THE 2022 WARWICK PRIZE FOR WOMEN IN TRANSLATION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIs it possible to make your own path in the world while upholding your family legacy?

His retired father spends his days fixing up things in the backyard; his mother, bemoaning the loss of her natal village in North Africa. Mourad lives in fear of becoming an overweight bachelor with salt and pepper hair, living off his mother's cooking. When Mourad’s father has a stroke, he makes his son promise to reconcile things with his estranged sister Dounia, a staunch feminist and aspiring politician, who had always felt constrained living at home. Now living in the Paris suburbs himself, Mourad tracks down Dounia and battles to span the gulf separating her and the rest of the family.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Guene, Faiza ; Ardizzone, Sarah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43318153674928,"sku":"9781911115694","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/6821\/9056\/files\/81t9jlc5DkL._SY342.jpg?v=1711833251"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.umojabooks.com\/collections\/autobiography-memoir-ii-coming-of-age-family.oembed","provider":"Umoja House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
