Críticas
[A] compelling blend of philosophy, sociology and political commentary. . . . One can only applaud the ferocious moral vision and astute intellect on display in these pages. --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"As moving as any of the sermons of the Rev. Martin Luther King, as profound as W.E.B Du Bois's The Souls of Black Folk, as exhilarating in their offering of liberation as James Baldwin's early essays." --David Nicholson, The Washington Post Book World "Exciting . . . illuminating. . . . West's thinking consistently challenges the conventional wisdom [and] confronts the reader with profound and unsettling insights." --Robert S. Boynton, Newsday "Cornel West is one of the most authentic, brilliant, prophetic, and healing voices in America today. We ignore his truth in Race Matters at our personal and national peril." --Marian Wright EdelmanReseña del editor
The fundamental litmus test for American democracy-its economy, government, criminal justice system, education, mass media, and culture-remains: how broad and intense are the arbitrary powers used and deployed against black people. In this sense, the problem of the twenty-first century remains the problem of the color line. --from the new Preface
First published in 1993 on the one-year anniversary of the L.A. riots, Race Matters was a national best-seller, and it has since become a groundbreaking classic on race in America.
Race Matters contains West's most powerful essays on the issues relevant to black Americans today: despair, black conservatism, black-Jewish relations, myths about black sexuality, the crisis in leadership in the black community, and the legacy of Malcolm X. And the insights that he brings to these complicated problems remain fresh, exciting, creative, and compassionate. Now more than ever, Race Matters is a book for all Americans, as it helps us to build a genuine multiracial democracy in the new millennium.
