Woke & Proud: The Charlatans' Inconvenience by J. Marcelo Baqueroalvarez | BookBaby Bookshophttps://store.bookbaby.com/book/woke-and-proudWoke – I remember when I first heard this word, and I must admit that I was not sure what they meant by that. Surely enough, I was not alone – and it seems that the term has been demonized and has morphed in context no matter who cites it. I was curious so I looked into it in a manner to educate myself. Afterall, people from all walks of life seemed to be at odds when it came to woke – and unsurprisingly the term became more and more contentious. As I educated myself in the term, I realized it that it has become a catalyst to propagandistic efforts, and as a ride-on-wagon to a lot of opportunists. Pundits, politicians, influencers, every-day people both in the United States of America and abroad seemed to give it a politically-charged meaning. Often missing the majority of the actual context. In this book I decided to search for actual definitions. I understood that opening a dictionary and look for the term was not enough, so I went a step further and looked at the context. Hereby the historically charged level attributed to this word finally became clear. And I must say it is fascinatingly grim. History is filled with great moments, but there is no shortage of terrible deeds against humanity. And further, some of those deeds were perpetrated by misinformed individuals who in-their-minds thought they were vindicated to commit all sorts of atrocities. It is unsurprising that a lot of people who seem to have an open mind and compassion for others tend to agree with what Woke is supposed to represent. And it is worth mentioning that people both in the right or left side of the political spectrum could be woke based on their circumstances, regardless of how the label it. What do I mean by that? Well, have you ever defended your stance from being disenfranchised in a system that is unfairly rigged against you? There you go, same thing… Change is inevitable, there are some who give have misappropriated what woke was supposed to be and turn it into a satirical version of itself. I mentioned before, propagandists and opportunists will find a way to exploit a situation. I wrote this book because I want to create introspection, it is supposed to be a short read. The situation is emergent because there are policies, political platforms, discrimination, and other catalysts that derive from this important topic. It is called woke in this situation – but in reality, it is supposed to be a fight against misinformation. And that is definitely inconvenient to whomever wants to control a narrative. This outrage is profitable and can lead to all kinds of potential atrocities if not properly contextualized. This book gives context and provide a solid baseline to continue opening our minds with critical thinking and intellectual honestly.eBook, Paperback

Authoritarianism & Propaganda: The Puppet Master Tools by J. Marcelo Baqueroalvarez | BookBaby Bookshophttps://store.bookbaby.com/book/authoritarianism-and-propagandaWhen I wrote Authoritarianism & Propaganda: The Puppet Master Tools, I wanted to create a different type of book. In other words, have the freedom to write something in my own unique style. That is why in the end I decided to self-publish. The more I researched the publishing process the more I realized that for this project in particular there was a potential (likely unintentional) that my words could be taken out of context or editorialized under somebody else's constraints, or their perception of what I am actually trying to convey. Afterall, my mind is a scary place, and it would take a lot longer to explain to somebody else what and how I am trying to communicate, and why it is written in the way I've chosen. Hence, I chose to self-publish. The writing style for this book is meant to pull the reader in a bunch of directions, much like a bicycle wheel spoke point away from each other. On purpose, some of my writing in this book is meant to be read a few times over. There are easter eggs and symbolism incorporated all over the place. The same is true on any artistic piece I create. There is always more than what meets the eye. The way I frame things will create a different response for each reader or witness to my art. It is meant to be that way. At the end of the day, this book or any other endeavor takes a team effort. In my case, I want to give a special acknowledgment to my wife Alicia. Not only did she create the background for this book cover based on the context of the book, she was also my primary beta-reader. When I wrote my first manuscript Alicia offered to be my editor and I had a feeling she would change her mind. She did.eBook, Paperback
