Author argues social justice efforts are often performative

Author Musa al-Gharbi argues that many efforts to improve social justice and reduce inequality have been superficial, without accomplishing their goals.

Here & Now's Scott Tong speaks with sociologist al-Gharbi about his new book “We Have Never Been Woke: The Cultural Contradictions of a New Elite." Al-Gharbi is an assistant professor of communication and journalism at Stony Brook University.
