Wokeism became a major ideological phenomenon that had an immense impact on the political, cultural, and academic discourse in the early twenty-first century (Heywood, 2017; Fukuyama, 2018). It was coined on the basis of the African American colloquialism "stay awake," which originally meant social awareness, and with reference specifically to systemic discrimination and racial injustice (Merriam-Webster, 2017). In the long run, though, wokeism has ceased to be emancipatory and established itself as a generalized ideology that aims to control language, morality, and social relations by a set of prescriptive norms of thinking and expression (Hughes, 2019). Wokeism in ideology is ideally parallel to the postmodern theories of influence as well as left-liberal thought that prioritizes identity, subjectivity and power relations over the common or civilizational values (Lyotard, 1984; Butler, 1990). It often views the society in terms of binary oppositions, oppressor and oppressed, and uses such notions as identity politics, intersectionality, and social justice advocacy (Crenshaw, 1989).
