About the Author
Musa Al-Gharbi is a sociologist and public intellectual whose incisive analyses challenge prevailing narratives on culture, politics, and social inequality. A fellow at Columbia University's Institute for Research on the Sociology of Knowledge, he draws on extensive research and interdisciplinary insights to dissect the tensions within modern progressive movements and elite institutions. Al-Gharbi's work bridges academic rigor with accessible prose, offering fresh perspectives on how ideological commitments shape societal dynamics. In his acclaimed book, We Have Never Been Woke: The Cultural Contradictions of a New Elite, he explores the paradoxes of contemporary wokeness among affluent classes, revealing how performative allyship often masks deeper class-based hypocrisies. Through essays and commentary in outlets like The New York Times and The Guardian, Al-Gharbi continues to provoke thoughtful debate on the evolving landscape of American identity and power structures.
