First lineWhat happened in Los Angeles in April of 1992 was neither a race riot nor a class rebellion. Publisher's noteThe scholar, theologian, and activist who has been acclaimed as one of the most eloquent voices in our ongoing racial debate now bridges the gulf between black and white America in a work of enormous resonance and moral authority. West takes on the questions of politics, economics, ethics, and spirituality and addresses the crisis in black leadership. Cornel West's subject matter in "Race Matters" ranges from the crisis in black leadership to the myths surrounding black sexuality; from affirmative action to Black-Jewish relations. He never hesitates to confront the prejudices of all his readers--or wavers in his insistence that they share a common destiny. Bold in its thought and written with a redemptive passion grounded in the tradition of the African American church, "Race Matters" is a work that is at once challenging and deeply healing. AnnotationThis trenchant analysis of what W.E.B. Dubois called "the problem of the color line" in America, was first published in the 1990s, and became a huge bestseller. Cornell West addresses topics such as affirmative action, black-Jewish relations, conservatism in the black community, Malcolm X, and black rage. West reminds readers of the legacy of white supremacy while acknowledging that progress has been made, and he points out the structures of power that, today, maintain or exacerbate the racial divisions within American society. Unequivocal in his comments, West, takes firm stands and points out difficult truths in these well-crafted essays, while offering vision and hope for the future.
