The End of Wokeness?

Vivek Chibber, a sociology professor at NYU and editor of Catalyst, dives into the contentious topic of wokeness. He unpacks its political and economic roots, challenging the notion that it's purely a leftist phenomenon. Chibber critiques the rise of identity politics, the authoritarian undertones of modern anti-racism, and how these shifts risk alienating the working class. He argues for a necessary leftist critique of wokeness to prevent disillusionment and the growing right's manipulation of cultural debates.
