Man Cry

Born in Nice to Algerian parents, Mourad is fuelled by the desire to forge his own destiny. 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.

This book began not as a story, but as a whisper. A whisper that grew in the silence between moments. Between hospital corridors and the hum of machines. Between questions no one dares to ask out loud—“Where is God when we are lost?” “Does anyone hear us when we cry without sound?” And then I saw him. Not in the flesh, but in the spirit of every soul I’ve ever met who felt misplaced in this world—those who have survived wreckage, not just in the sky, but in the heart. Those who have learned to speak through silence, who walk among us carrying stories carved in scars instead of words.

In this thought-provoking book, we explore the suffocating pressure on men to conform to societal expectations of masculinity, particularly in African settings where they're expected to be sole providers and emotional rocks. This toxic culture of silence leads to mental health issues, physical health problems, and a shortened life span. We also examine the unspoken pressures on men in Western societies and their impact on mental health. To break this cycle, we must create safe spaces for men to express emotions, challenge societal norms, and encourage open communication.

Should this book have been written? Should it be read? Why is there still so much stigma, shame and taboo associated with mental health? Why do men struggle so much to talk about their problems? Are we adequately equipped? In the workplace, in your home, in the church, in society? The introduction in this book briefly explains how our brains work, it is a powerful organ. Are you trapped in a negative mindset? This book will change the way that you think.
