English Summary/英文概要: In Woke, Titania McGrath demonstrates how everybody can play their part in the pursuit of social justice. As a millennial icon on the forefront of online activism, Titania is uniquely placed to guide her readers through the often bewildering array of terminology and concepts that constitute twenty-first-century ’wokeness’. These new ideas often leave the general public bemused, particularly if they don’t read the Guardian.
Being woke is actually much easier than people think. As Titania demonstrates, anyone can be an activist. By simply adding a rainbow flag to your Facebook profile, or calling out an elderly person who doesn’t understand what ’non-binary’ means, you can change the world for the better. Indeed, social media has now made it possible to show how virtuous you are without having to do anything at all.
Timely and indispensable, Titania’s step-by-step guide will help you to become the woke person you need to be in an increasingly progressive world. In a non-patronising manner, Titania will explain why you are wrong about everything and how to become more like her.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 在《觉醒》中,泰坦尼娅•麦格拉斯介绍了每个人在追求社会公正的过程中如何发挥自己的作用。作为站在网络行动主义前沿的“千禧年偶像”,泰坦尼娅的独特之处在于引导读者们了解那些眼花缭乱、构成21世纪“觉醒意识”的术语和概念。这些新观点经常让公众感到困惑,尤其是如果他们不读《卫报》的话。
觉醒其实比人们想象的要容易得多。如泰坦尼娅所言,任何人都可以成为积极分子。只需在你的Facebook个人资料中添加一面彩虹旗,或者向一位不理解“非二进制”含义的老人解释含义,你可以让世界变得更加美好。事实上,现在的社交媒体让你无需做任何事情就能展示出你有多善良。
泰坦尼娅的这本详细指导不可或缺、应运而生,将帮助你在一个日益进步的世界里实现觉醒。泰坦尼娅会以一种平等的姿态解释为什么你在所有事情上都是错的,以及如何变得更像她。(XMM)
