Following on to his Nine Nasty Words<\/em>, which just became a New York Times<\/em> best-seller (somewhat to his surprise), John McWhorter’s next book will be Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America<\/em><\/a> from Random Penguin:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That manuscript will be released as a book by Portfolio (also a Penguin Random House imprint) in October. It will be published under a new title: Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I should mention that the often sharp and insightful subscriber comments, as well as the brilliant editorial counsel of Bria Sandford at Portfolio, have already made Woke Racism<\/em> significantly different from the The Elect<\/em> excerpts. Woke Racism<\/em> will express what the Substack excerpts did and then some. It will still analyze Third-Wave Antiracism as a religion. It will still make legions of black people see me as a race traitor. It will still make legions of white people see me as a tragically deluded white supremacist with brown skin who merits dismissal and ostracization.<\/p>\n

And amidst all of that, it will still represent what I consider the most pro-black book I have ever written.<\/p>\n

But this does mean that from now on, my Substack “newsletter” will be exactly that. I am glad many of you have enjoyed my posts here beyond the The Elect<\/em> excepts, and they will continue, at the rate of once or twice (and I hope, more often, twice) a week. I have loved communicating to you as well as the feedback I get. Let’s keep this going.<\/p>\n

Only: get “The Elect” as a real book, Woke Racism<\/em>, around Halloween. Here, get my take on things as they happen, unfiltered.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
