What We Think

In today’s terms, The Last of the Mohicans is about as non-woke as they come. If you’re looking for an old-school adventure unconcerned with modern identity narratives or ideological uniformity, this is your book.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The book’s characters are defined primarily by their actions, skills, and personalities rather than modern identity politics. If anything, it holds up competency, adventure, and personal honor, rarely if ever sacrificing narrative for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, religion, and masculinity are foregrounded without apology. While Native American characters are prominent, the book is definitely a product of its time, and doesn’t mock or undermine traditional cultural structures.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews (European settlers, Native tribes, French, and British) receive attention, sometimes with unfortunate stereotypes, but dissenting perspectives are definitely present, not just villainized.
