Given that Awokenings consist of wealthy and elite members of the symbolic capitalist class rising in support of antiracism, feminism, economic equality, and other social justice related causes, it’s natural to ask if the outcome is an improvement for women, racial minorities, or the poor. Unfortunately, al-Gharbi doesn’t see much cause for celebration regarding results: Despite their intense focus on social justice issues, Great Awokenings have rarely generated positive outcomes for the genuinely needy…
