What We Think

The Lost City of Z sticks to old-school adventure and historical intrigue, barely brushing against woke trends. It’s refreshingly non-woke, letting the story speak for itself without soapbox moments or forced identity politics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The book prioritizes a gripping adventure narrative and historical accuracy over modern identity politics. Character focus is on Percy Fawcett's obsession with exploration, not his race, sexuality, or identity. There’s no sign of storyline being bent to fit current ideological trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, masculinity, and the spirit of exploration are presented in a nuanced, sometimes critical, but mostly respectful light. The book doesn't go out of its way to undermine or pathologize these themes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a balanced consideration of perspectives between Fawcett, his family, native Amazonian cultures, and modern explorers. No group is villainized just for holding traditional views, and the book allows for complex portrayals rather than enforcing a single moral lens.
