Publisher's Synopsis
What is woke? The answer given typically depends on the party being asked the question. It is professed to be an awareness of struggle and grievance, or participation in the same; but it is also declared vacuous and malleable. Its proponents come in many forms- because the term has no central premise. In this work I argue that this is- at least insofar as the privileged champions of the concept go- absolutely purposeful and deliberate.
With this in mind herein I explore the actual functions of wokeness- that is, that which it does, that which it causes. In this manner, we can describe the phenomenon adequately and refute it while sidestepping any intellectually dishonest debate over its actual form- for the function will allow us to describe it, here in this work, based on thirteen premises, which mark the actual behavior of the woke, and of wokeness, on every level; legal, civil, intellectual, social, and behavioral.
