“‘Wokeness is very bad and everything I don’t like is woke.’ So summarized are a million faceless diatribes against popular progressive idolatries. Given this, I was very wary of reading and reviewing Musa al-Gharbi’s We Have Never Been Woke: The Cultural Contradictions of a New Elite. I was worried I’d be confronted by another shrill, mindless anti-woke screed presenting Robin DiAngelo as the single, biggest threat to Western civilization. (Reading through the countless anti-woke polemics feels like a kind of penitential self-flagellation at this point.) This is why the book was such a breath of fresh air. For once, the Socratic self-description is quite accurate.” (01/16/25)
