American Spirit or Great Awokening?Bruce D. Abramson
Two years ago, I sat down to write a column about Wokeism as a religion. I figured that it would run longer than 800 words—likely into the 2500/3000 word range.
The material kept flowing. I shared much of it with my loyal Substack readers. (Thanks!). Then I pulled it together in book form:
American Spirit or Great Awokening? The Battle to Restore or Destroy Our Nation (Academica Press, 2024).
It’s a relatively short book (~50K words) and intended for a general (i.e., non-scholarly) audience.
My basic argument is straightforward:
- America is suffering from a spiritual crisis, which is the root cause of our polarized politics & culture.
- Wokeism is a brilliant, new, utopian religion that has arisen to meet the unspoken and often denied spiritual needs of America’s most spiritually starved people, namely our elite.
- If we wish to save the country, we’re going to have to get back in touch with America’s own spiritual roots and re-inject faith and community into our culture.
I’m eager for help with reviews & publicity. If you’ve got any clout with folks who tell other folks what to read, please help me get in touch with them. In the meantime, please buy the book, read it, enjoy it, and recommend it!
