Whether in the classroom, the streets, the prisons, or the church, Dr. West's uncluttered brilliance has been a bright beacon shining through the darkness for decades. Yet, as he points out in this new memoir, "I've never taken the time to focus on the inner dynamics of the dark precincts of my soul." That is, until now. "Brother West" is like its author: brilliant, unapologetic, passionate, compassionate, and cool. This poignant memoir traces West's transformation from a schoolyard Robin Hood into a progressive cultural icon. From his youthful investigation of the "death shudder" to why he embraced his calling of teaching over preaching, from his three failed marriages to his near-fatal bout with prostate cancer, West illuminates what it means to live as "an aspiring bluesman in a world of ideas and a jazzman in the life of the mind." Woven together with the fibers of his lifelong commitment to the prophetic Christian tradition that began in Sacramento's Shiloh Baptist Church, "Brother West" is a tale of a man courageous enough to be fully human, living and loving out loud. AnnotationCornel West has long been one of the most perceptive and essential social voices in America, but until now he has never publicly shared the details of his private life. In this incisive memoir, West investigates himself, revealing how his intellect evolved along with the civil rights movement, a coincidence which allowed him to take advantage of opportunities which were veritably unprecedented in the black community. West charts his progression from anger to awareness, as he candidly examines how his own theories in regards to the lingering effects of racial conditioning are exemplified by his own life. He also addresses his three marriages, his profound Christian faith, his battle to overcome prostate cancer, and his ongoing quest to abolish oppression through enlightenment.
