| Richard Hanania recently joined Revolver's Dr. Darren Beattie for a
| conversation on Hanania's new book, The Origins of Woke. Though the
| term "woke" has become a ubiquitous feature of our political
| discourse, there has been precious little serious attention given to
| what "wokeness" actually is and, relatedly, what its true origins
| are. What little attention has been given to this question has often
| focused on exotic, though not entirely unfounded, explanations
| grounding wokeness as an outgrowth of degenerate strains of European
| philosophy. Hanania's thesis, by contrast, argues that the
| phenomenon we recognize today as "wokeness" is an inevitable by-
| product of various features of American civil rights law. It
| follows, according to Hanania, that the most effective and direct
| way to combat wokeness is to address and disassemble its legal
| architecture.
Are Beattie and Hanania happy with the American culture that
immigrants are asked to assimilate into?
