Editorial Reviews
Review
“Lively, heated, fighting words...”
—Kirkus Reviews
“[West’s] mini-lectures, which frequently run uninterrupted for pages at a time, and Buschendorf’s instructive set-ups for them...convey a wealth of information.”
—Publishers Weekly
“A fascinating exploration of the black prophetic genius and fire of Douglass, Du Bois, King, Ella Baker, Malcolm X, and Ida B. Wells, this book reminds us what true leadership, sacrifice, and courageous, inspirational truth-telling looks like and why it is so urgently needed in the quest for justice today.”
—Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow

Along with Dr. Earl Ofari Hutchinson and Dr. Gerald Horne, Dr. Cornel West is one of the foremost critical theoreticians now working--especially with regards to Afro-American intellectual and cultural historicism.
Dr. West advances righteousness in clarity of critique with agapéo: “Light shines in the darkness.”
