The world of media and literature has been abuzz with the release of Chad Cruz’s latest book, Unwoke: How to Defuse the Ideological Time Bomb Invading Our Schools, Our Culture, and Our Country. Through a mix of story-telling, philosophical musings, and in-depth social commentary, Cruz (also the author of the highly-acclaimed The Long Game) tackles the pressing topics of identity politics, cancel culture, and the dangers of the political left.
In an age where freedom of speech and expression are under attack, Unwoke is a much-needed source of guidance. Cruz counts upon his experience in advocacy, activism, and media to equip readers with the mental tools necessary to stand their ground in the face of left-wing indoctrination. He adeptly identifies the perils of Cultural Marxism – a form of Critical Theory that demonizes conservative values and advocates for progressive agendas – and the ways in which it has infiltrated the public education system through means of textbook revisions and faculty reform.
Drawing on values of education, reason, and free speech, Cruz outlines ways in which readers can counter these movements by re-asserting their independence and building a more introspective approach to understanding the subject matters at hand. The book serves as a roadmap to meaningful discussion and problem solving – a much-needed alternative to the language of division and hatred currently ruling the media landscape.
Overall, Unwoke is a powerful statement of agency, standing for the importance of education, dialogue, and freedom of thought in our society. In a world where opinion can be weaponized, we bow to a book that calls for a middle-ground answer – a philosophy of thoughtful debate and respect regardless of beliefs. It is clear Chad Cruz’s Unwoke is the voice of reason to be welcomed in our times.
