The definitive explainer of the twenty-first century's cancerous cult of woke. -- Milo Yiannopoulos, author of Dangerous. What you hold in your hand is a rare specimen indeed: the work of someone honest enough to rethink his entire ideology late in his career, when he stood to gain nothing by it. But in Beyond Woke we readers gain plenty: as a former academic leftist himself, Rectenwald knows the whole racket inside and out, and in this book he lays it bare in all its absurdity. If you thought you knew all about this, think again. You need to read Rectenwald. --Tom Woods, senior fellow of the Mises Institute and host of The Tom Woods Show. Michael Rectenwald writes about woke mania with clarity and with a former insider's deep knowledge of its intellectual roots, ideological assumptions, and corporate methods. He has produced an essential, enjoyable guide to the new collectivism. --Janice Fiamengo, retired Professor of English, University of Ottawa, Canada.
