Etymologi

Ordet woke stammer oprindeligt fra det afrikanske-amerikanske engelske samfund og blev først anvendt som en fortid af wake (at være vågen eller opmærksom). Oprindeligt blev termen brugt i forbindelse med at være opmærksom på de sociale og politiske problemer, der påvirkede det afrikanske-amerikanske samfund. Det handlede om at være vågen i betydningen af at være bevidst om diskrimination, ulighed, racisme og undertrykkelse og aktivt arbejde for at ændre dem.Sidenhen har udtrykket woke udviklet sig og er blevet mere mainstream og bredere i sin betydning. Det bruges nu mere generelt om at være opmærksom på og engageret i sociale retfærdighedsspørgsmål og fremme ligestilling og inklusion på tværs af forskellige områder af samfundet. Det kan omfatte kampen mod racisme, sexism, homofobi, transfobi og andre former for diskrimination. Ordet woke bruges ofte som en selvbegrebelse eller som en beskrivelse af en person eller en gruppe, der er bevidst og engageret i disse spørgsmål.
