A revelatory investigation into the rise and fall of the 'woke' movement and how we can prevent it from happening again.
It is no secret that we are in the midst of a cultural revolution. Activists in the 'woke' movement have claimed to be on the right side of history, and yet their approach has been intolerant, intemperate and, above all, illiberal. Having dominated the western world for the past fifteen years, there are clear signs the woke are now losing their power. The re-election of Donald Trump, the scaling back of DEI initiatives, and a growing awareness of the threats to women's sex-based rights has stirred a counter-revolution. But is this truly the end of woke? Or have the culture wars merely evolved?
In The End of Woke, Doyle skilfully examines the mechanisms underlying the zealous extremes on both the left and the right. He shows that, in a desperate power struggle to re-assert liberal values, some leaders of the anti-woke movement have found themselves adopting a different kind of authoritarian approach - one which also promotes censorship and erodes our freedoms.
Doyle argues that although authoritarianism is common to all political tribes, we must resist its pernicious influence wherever it emerges. After all, replacing one form of tyranny with another will not end the culture wars. But liberalism - true liberalism - might just see the end of woke for good.©2025 Andrew Doyle

Critic reviews
Thought provoking and entertaining. Andrew Doyle's intellect dazzles (Jimmy Carr)
A magisterial read . . . divinely inspired writing and commentary from one of the most thoughtful intellectuals of our time (Michael Shermer)
Written with wit and intelligence . . . Doyle skillfully illustrates how the evangelists of the woke movement were able to gain power. It's society's decade-long psychotic break, written down
The best work yet by the creator of genius parody Titania McGrath
Andrew Doyle's essential The End of Woke makes it clear: woke is down but it's far from over
Informative and entertaining . . . this book is probably the best catalogue of the excesses of the past decade to date
A brilliant, timely, highly entertaining book (Allison Pearson, columnist for the Telegraph)
In The End of Woke, Andrew Doyle, pitch-perfect ventriloquist of the immortal Titania McGrath, here writes as himself: writes beautifully, trenchantly, near-irrefutably . . . The chapter on gender wars almost had me rushing into the street to read choice passages to random strangers (Richard Dawkins)
A lovely blend of righteous polemic and wishful thinking (Julie Burchill)
The positive golden bridge, where those that have ingested the mind virus can escape, is a noble solution. We need to end the cycle of recriminations.
Outstanding

An undoubtedly intelligent author and hopefully this will draw a line under the phenomenon of "woke" and we can revert back to compassion.
Kept my interest throughout...
