We Have Never Been Woke: The Cultural Contradictions of a New Elite is a sociological and political economy study of contemporary elite culture, written by Musa al-Gharbi. Rather than treating wokeness as a simple set of bad ideas or as a purely moral reform movement, the book examines how progressive language and social justice commitments operate within a new professional class. Al-Gharbi focuses on symbolic capitalists, people working in fields such as education, media, nonprofits, and related knowledge industries, and argues that their values and behavior are shaped by status competition as much as by egalitarian principle. The book asks why strongly antiracist, feminist, and inclusive rhetoric has grown alongside widening inequality, and why elite institutions often benefit from that rhetoric while failing to materially improve conditions for disadvantaged groups. It is a critique of elite liberalism, but one grounded in historical comparison, sociological analysis, and attention to incentives rather than partisan slogans.
