A deep dive into wokism
Book review by Margaret Hickey, Mercatornet. Awake not Woke, by Noelle Mering, TAN Books USA.
At this point, one might well ask: what more is there to say or write about the incoherence, dogmatism and belligerence of the woke movement? After reading Mering’s book, I would say quite a lot actually.
Mering, a Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, prolific writer and broadcaster on the theology of family life, is a Catholic mother of six from California. Her background and experience place her at an obvious advantage in addressing the woke phenomenon. Her extraordinary breadth and depth of research and ability to extract and communicate key insights makes this book accessible and illuminating.
We have witnessed in recent times a surge of ever more astounding doctrines and claims from woke ideologues. Just when you think we have reached “peak woke”, something even more startling and bizarre comes along.
In this part of the world, the controversy over the Scottish Gender Recognition Act, which allows anyone over sixteen to self-identity as “male” or “female”, even convicted rapists, giving them the right to be placed in women’s detention centres, may look like the final unravelling of the movement.
