Musa al-Gharbi, an assistant professor at Stony Brook and columnist for Compact Magazine, dives into his book, 'We Have Never Been Woke.' He discusses how social justice discourse can perpetuate inequality, especially in blue cities. Al-Gharbi critiques the disconnect between elite narratives and working-class realities, exploring the irony of those pushing social justice while being part of the elite. He also reflects on the evolution of 'wokeness' in political campaigns and the need for genuine community engagement in discussions about issues like prison abolition.
