{"product_id":"9781680533293","title":"Sleepwalking Into Wokeness","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmerica and the West are now in the penultimate stage of a revolution defined by \"wokeness.\" What we call \"partisanship\" is essentially the effect of the late but growing realization of the revolution's opponents that they face a major threat to their interests, convictions, and ways of life. It is not the \"wokerati,\" but their likely victims who are waking up. What they see is how a large number of social trends that may have posed little danger separately - mass migration made more divisive by multiculturalism; the rise of identity politics; the imposition of bureaucratic \"diversity;\" the collapse of Christianity and traditional religious restraints; the sexual revolution; the weakening of the family; radical gender theory and the rising hostility between the sexes; terrorism and its gradual accommodation by democratic governments and institutions; the smothering of national sovereignty by \"global governance;\" the rise of anti-national elites in Western societies; the post-communist crises of conservatism; the extraordinary recent resurrection of \"socialism\" as a social panacea among the young; the economic consequences of environmentalism - all have coalesced into a brewing social revolution that leaves most ordinary people feeling dispossessed in their countries and losing the future. In this series of essays written over the course of a storied career, John O'Sullivan, a former adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and editor of National Review shows how this revolution has emerged and how this revolution can be resisted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACADEMICA PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51813389959442,"sku":"9781680533293","price":89.96,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781680533293.jpg?v=1774737081","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781680533293","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
