Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Critical Social Justice or wokeism is a relatively new phenomena that has dominated the recent culture wars since the antiracism movement intensified in the wake of George Floyd's death. In this volume, internationally acclaimed cultural critics, social political theorists, psychologists, philosophers, behavioral scientists, and scholars of humanities examine contemporary issues in social critique that address a myriad of topics including critical race theory (CRT), identity politics, decolonialism, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) movements, whiteness theory, gender critical feminism, transgenderism, cancel culture, antizionism/antisemitism, postmodern epistemology, the free speech debate, and political authoritarianism. This is the first book of its kind to offer a scholarly critique of the social justice ideology that has saturated our modern times, stoked by polarization and societal division, fomenting discord, radical politics, censorship, and new forms of fascism.Woke: A Critique of Social Justice Ideology will be of interest to cultural theorists, philosophers, political scientists, journalists, media studies, psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, psychoanalysts, religious studies, popular culture, and those generally interested in the humanities and social sciences.
