Professor Eric Kaufmann - Woke Isn't Dead, Why White Women Are WOKE & The Awkward TRUTH about Ethno-Nationalism

Professor Eric Kaufmann discuss the evolution and future of woke, noting its peak and potential resurgence. It was not in fact ended by the reelection of Donald Trump, he argues, and in this interview explains why. Kaufmann argues that woke-ism, characterised by the sacralisation of marginalised groups, has seen a decline in corporate and educational practices but remains strong among younger generations. Will there be new versions of BLM, MeToo, Antifa as a reaction to Trump’s second term? Are we already seeing it in response to Elon Musk, with the targeting of Tesla?Eric and Winston explore the concept of national identity in the era of “diversity is our greatest strength”. What is the truth about ethnonationaolsm? Is former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak English? They also explore the impact of immigration on social cohesion, and national identity.He notes that cultural debates, such as those over free speech and diversity, are a secondary response to populism. And that populism is a response to mass migration, Islam, LGBT and feminist issues.Eric Peter Kaufmann is a Canadian professor of politics at the University of Buckingham.
