Summary of Ted Cruz's Unwoke

According to Texas Senator Ted Cruz, America is under a woke assault from the Marxists of the Democratic Party. Unwoke (2023) is a critique of Marxism and its influence on American society, drawing from historical context and Cruz’s experiences as the son of Cuban immigrants who fled communist oppression. Cruz, a conservative Republican, argues that the Left’s infiltration of mainstream institutions has led to the suppression of dissent and the politicization of science. He believes that American values have been eroded and offers a blueprint for their restoration.
