Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Pillar of Light" keeps historical and personal narratives front and center, focusing on family, faith, and character without prioritizing modern identity politics. Character development is based on personal virtues, not identity traits. Forced representation or unrealistic character empowerment is absent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This book strongly upholds traditional values like religion, family, and morality. Masculinity and femininity are depicted within historical context, not subverted. The text honors religious experience and cultural tradition rather than rewriting or undermining them for modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The novel is overtly faith-based and reflects the worldview of early 19th-century America, specifically from an LDS perspective. While alternative perspectives may be limited, the narrative focuses sincerely on its historical-religious context rather than caricaturing dissenting viewpoints.
