If you’re left, you’re woke. We blur the terms, assuming that if you’re one you must be the other. That, Susan Neiman argues, is a dangerous mistake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe confusion arises because woke is fuelled by traditionally leftwing emotions: the wish to stand with the oppressed and marginalised, to address historic crimes. But those emotions are undermined by widespread philosophical assumptions with reactionary sources. As a result, wokeism conflicts with ideas that have guided the left for more than 200 years: a commitment to universalism, a firm distinction between justice and power, and a belief in the possibility of progress. Without these ideas, the woke will continue to undermine their own goals and drift, inexorably and unintentionally, towards the right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the world’s leading philosophical voices, Neiman calls with passion and power for the left to return to the ideals that built the best of the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLeft Is Not Woke\u003c\/em\u003e is also available as an audiobook narrated by the author.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47424583434476,"sku":"9781509564101","price":30.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509564101.jpg?v=1774768360","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/left-is-not-woke-by-susan-neiman-9781509564101","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
