In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

“Mountains Beyond Mountains” leans into social justice but avoids the worst excesses of “woke” storytelling. Its focus on real-world impact gives it more substance and nuance than typical activism-driven narratives.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Narrative integrity is largely maintained, as the book focuses on Paul Farmer’s humanitarian work rather than making identity the centerpiece. Any ideological leanings don’t overpower the engaging storytelling or character focus. Representation appears organic and tied to real people, not “filling quotas.”

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

While there’s some critique of traditional systems (especially global inequalities and Western institutions), the book doesn’t go out of its way to undermine family, religion, or masculinity. Farmer’s faith and personal values are treated seriously rather than derisively.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are not wholly dismissed, but there is a noticeable lean in favor of progressive approaches to health and social justice. However, the book doesn’t blatantly villainize dissent or portray all tradition as evil.
