Activists in the 'woke' movement have claimed to be on the right side of history, and yet their approach has been intolerant, intemperate and, above all, illiberal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHaving dominated the western world for the past fifteen years, there are clear signs the woke are now losing their power. The re-election of Donald Trump, the scaling back of DEI initiatives, and a growing awareness of the threats to women's sex-based rights have stirred a counter-revolution. But is this truly the end of woke? Or have the culture wars merely evolved?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe End of Woke\u003c\/i\u003e, Doyle skilfully examines the mechanisms underlying the zealous extremes on both the left and the right. He shows that, in a desperate power struggle to re-assert liberal values, some leaders of the anti-woke movement have found themselves adopting a different kind of authoritarian approach - one which also promotes censorship and erodes our freedoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDoyle argues that although authoritarianism is common to all political tribes, we must resist its pernicious influence wherever it emerges. After all, replacing one form of tyranny with another will not end the culture wars. But liberalism - true liberalism - might just see the end of woke for good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46438394986732,"sku":"9781408723975","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781408723975.jpg?v=1747196247"},{"product_id":"free-speech-and-why-it-matters-by-andrew-doyle-9780349135373","title":"Free Speech And Why It Matters","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'Impassioned, scholarly and succinct' \u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFree Speech And Why It Matters\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFree speech is the bedrock of all our liberties, and yet in recent years it has come to be mistrusted.

In The Woke Right, he explains how the authoritarian instinct resides on all sides of the political spectrum, and what we can do to resist it.","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47288899928300,"sku":"9781408723982","price":55.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/60649c8a6983dbfd4e8a18fe670c0661.jpg?v=1770603531"},{"product_id":"the-new-puritans-by-andrew-doyle-9780349135304","title":"The New Puritans","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'A sober but devastating skewering of cancel culture and the moral certainties it shares with religious fundamentalism' \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEngaging, incisive and acute, \u003ci\u003eThe New Puritans\u003c\/i\u003e is a deeply necessary exploration of our current cultural climate and an urgent appeal to return to a truly liberal society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe puritans of the seventeenth century sought to refashion society in accordance with their own beliefs, but they were deep thinkers who were aware of their own fallibility.
