Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration, and the Future of White Majorities by Eric Kaufmann. Although this book is by no means a light or easy read, Kaufmann’s take on the woke movement is one of the most interesting in my view. A political scientist who’s research overlaps well into the world of social demography (where much technical statistical analysis is employed), Kaufmann brings a deep understanding of the woke cultural movement (which originated in 1960s academia and the counter-culture), and is able to make sense of and communicate clearly the complexities arising from large volumes of data analysis. This includes an examination of the culture wars, the implications of political movements, immigration and more. There may be no other book which better explains (based on the smart collection and analysis of demographic data) the woke scourge that Western nations are currently plagued with. a b c Schofield, Hugh (December 13, 2021).

"Last Night at the Telegraph Club," by Malinda Lo Dutton Books for Young Readers Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity―and Why This Harms Everybod yThe word woke loosely refers to a social media-fueled, leftwing political ideology that emerged in the English-speaking world in the early 2010s. The term is derived from the state of being awake to or conscious of structural inequalities in society and being hyper-aware of one’s own role in those inequalities. Someone who is woke is constantly inspecting every institution in society, looking for the presence of racism, sexism, and other forms of pervasive prejudice. Dan; Hagström, Linus (2022).
