In We Have Never Been Woke, Musa al-Gharbi argues that these trends are closely related, each tied to the rise of a new elite - the symbolic capitalists.
"Musa al-Gharbi presents a thorough and provocative critique of the contemporary woke movement and its cultural contradictions.... Following Bourdieu, the author brilliantly portrays symbolic capitalists.... Al-Gharbi urges us to reconsider what true progressivism should look like and how to build a more inclusive movement that addresses the material concerns of all people, rather than focusing solely on the symbolic victories of a privileged few."---Pedro Ángel Palou, El Heraldo de México
