We Have Never Been Woke: One Month to Launch!!!

It’s a little hard to believe, because it’s been nearly three and a half years since it was announced, but We Have Never Been Woke will be available for everyone to read in less than one month!

I’ve got my hands on a physical copy, and it’s truly a thing of beauty. Hats off to the excellent PUP team (click to zoom).

If you haven’t already, preorder a copy today so you can read/ listen on the day of release (October 8!).

Right or wrong, preorders and Week One sales matter a ton for how a book is received, the coverage it gets, and the impact it ultimately has. So, if you think you may want to read the book, please consider reserving your copy right now. Every sale helps!

Hardcover editions are available for preorder on Bookshop.org, Thriftbooks, Barnes & Noble, Amazon and through most other major retailers. You can also pick up a copy directly from the publisher via the Princeton University Press website.
E-book versions are available for preorder on Kobo, Google Play, Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Audiobook listeners can preorder their copy, narrated by yours truly, through Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Audible, Google Play, Kobo and Libro.fm.
Readers outside the U.S. can snag a copy via Blackwell’s, with free international shipping.

More about the book is available here.

Tour Information

I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be touring to talk about the book and its themes around the U.S. For the month of October, I’m almost fully booked up. My November is starting to fill up as well. Information for currently confirmed stops is available here.

Strikingly, although the book is about symbolic economy professionals and the institutions and communities they inhabit — there are several symbolic economy hubs where I don’t yet have dates scheduled, including Atlanta, Boston, Florida, Dallas, Portland, Seattle, Phoenix, Miami, Boulder, Minneapolis, the D.C. metro area, and the North Carolina “research triangle.” Let’s change this!

If you would like to have me out to speak at your campus or organization, reach out to my booking agent Akhil Jonnalagadda (Akhil_Jonnalagadda@press.princeton.edu) ASAP.

Folks outside the U.S. who are interested in hosting me should also get in touch with Akhil to make arrangements for the second tour, which will be tied to the international book launch in January 2025.

Media Circuit

I’ve been doing lots of media interviews and podcasts over the past few weeks, which should be coming out contemporaneous with the book launch. My goal is to speak to as many folks as possible, but my dance card is also filling up rapidly.

If you’re a

Journalist interested in writing about me or the book or doing an interview,
An editor interested in writing and excerpt or soliciting an original essay,
An academic interested in reviewing the book for a major disciplinary journal

Please reach out to the book’s publicist, Megan Posco (megan@poscopublicity.com) as soon as possible. Ideally, we’d do as many interviews as possible before the tour gets underway because I won’t have the same access to a studio while I’m travelling.
