Woke for Dummies – New Discourses

What is “Woke“? What is its relationship to “Social Justice”? Why did so many people explain Woke as “Critical Social Justice” for several years? In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes you into the book that first opened his eyes to what “Woke” really is: Ozlem Sensoy and Robin DiAngelo’s Is Everyone Really Equal? (first edition). This book could truly serve as an eye-opening “Woke for Dummies” guide to where Woke comes from, what it really means by “Social Justice,” and how it thinks about the world. It, like all Woke books, is also a Woke grimoire, drawing the reader in and putting a Woke “spell” on her as she reads it and considers its contents. Join James for his introduction of this book to you, so you can better grasp the basics of Woke Marxism.
