"[We Have Never Been Woke is] a careful study of the highly educated, progressive-leaning world of what [al-Gharbi] calls “symbolic capitalists.” That is, it’s a study of us: me, my colleagues, our bosses, our entire industry, the public figures and academic experts we often write about, and countless others with expensive degrees.... If you are reading this, it’s likely about you, too.... an eye-opening book." —Jeremy Schulman, Mother Jones.
al-Gharbi has also appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Atlantic. We Have Never Been Woke: The Cultural Contradictions of a New Elite, was published by Princeton University Press in October 2024.
Join us on the opening Night of DXC25 as Sociologist, Author, and Stony Brook University Assistant Professor, Musa al-Gharbi, discusses his timely new book.
