In this conversation between Homi Bhabha and Bernard E. Harcourt, we will explore our present moment in history, in which there has emerged a vociferous debate over what is often called the “woke” movement, its alleged “excesses,” and the need to “revoke” and achieve a recalibration in this country. This new debate resonates everywhere we turn today. We will explore it through the lens of theories of difference and history.
