Description
In this provocative work, John McWhorter examines how modern “wokeness” can reshape conversations about race in ways that sometimes obscure more than they reveal. Drawing on history, linguistics, and cultural analysis, he explores the gap between well-intentioned moral certainty and the real-world effects of identity-based narratives. The book challenges readers to reconsider the assumptions behind contemporary anti-racism, asking what counts as evidence, who gets to define racism, and how language can both illuminate and distort. With McWhorter’s sharp, accessible style, it offers a rigorous, debate-ready look at the politics of perception in today’s society.
