Episode notes

“Le wokisme, which the French love to hate, traces its intellectual genealogy back to 1960s French intellectuals,” writes Politico, “…who analyzed and ‘deconstructed’ the language and the symbolism of power, kickstarting a global campus movement.” So why are the French people now rejecting identity politics en masse?

One reason could be found in French law: “Unlike in the United States, where people are commonly asked to self-identify as a given ethnicity, such questions are illegal in France and are seen as a form of racism.” Could similar laws repair the damage of identity politics and woke racism in the United States?

Beatrice Rosen is a French-American actress known for roles in major films including The Dark Knight (2008) and Chasing Liberty (2004).
