A brief and balanced introduction and response to the culture of "woke" for busy people.
"With the precision of a historian and clarity of a philosopher, John Stackhouse's slim volume Woke offers a tremendous resource to those who want to understand what postmodernism, critical (race) theory, DEI, and even "woke" mean in both scholarly and current political contexts. Woke resists political polarization as it outlines the origins of liberal and postmodern thought, traces the role of Christianity in shaping civic values, and offers a path for thoughtful Christian engagement, endorsement, and critique of these hot-button concepts." - Jessica Ann Hughes, Ph.D., Language and Literature Department Chair, George Fox University

A brief and balanced introduction and response to the culture of "woke" for busy people.
"I know of no other book that explains so clearly, with so lively a pen, and with such economy the various intellectual currents that are now disturbing our cultural peace. What is even rarer is that the author grinds no axes, treating both sides of the culture wars with thoughtful charity and a deeply Christian intelligence. 'Woke' has important things to say and it does so in a highly readable manner." - Nigel Biggar, Ph.D., Regius Professor Emeritus of Moral Theology, University of Oxford
