You know what angered me the most?! Comments said it was “impeccably researched” when his definition itself of “wokism” is so biased! Now I don’t know if I should try to get my money back or burn the damned book!

A Matt Goodwin wrote a similarly whining book. It’s called “Bad Education” and it lists as universities’ greater dangers things such as “trigger warnings” and “safe spaces”. I was fuming. Couldn’t read more than 40 pages, and that was already too much bad faith.

Hello ESR, apparently it’s fashionable to introduce yourself. I teach English, and a bit of literature, at Sorbonne Nouvelle; sometimes, I write. My last article, on Natasha Brown’s Assembly, was published a few days ago, just here. journals.openedition.org/pla/1479
