Foresaken
A History of Circumcision
by James Johnson

Dedication

To every man who never got to choose —
and to everyone now choosing to speak.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS


THANKS TO THE researchers, doctors, historians, and everyday people who never stopped asking why — and refused to accept silence as consent.

Special thanks to the truth-tellers. You know who you are.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR


JJ WRITES TROJAN Horse histories — calm, surgical, and sharp enough to leave a scar. His work exposes what most won’t touch, revealing the systems, rituals, and industries that shape our world without permission.
