The release date for the English version of 'Race Matters' by
Cornel West is Mar 1994. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.
The director of Afro-American studies at Princeton and author of several books, West, tackles a number of issues that black Americans care about in this collection of essays, many of which have previously appeared in journals. These issues include the LA riots following the Rodney King verdict, Malcolm X, Clarence Thomas & Anita Hill, and black street life. Because they illustrate the ongoing battle to integrate African Americans into mainstream American politics, the economy, and society without erasing their distinctive culture, these subjects are both contemporary and timeless. The writings have the atmosphere of a well-written sermon, filled with original ideas and fresh perspectives on age-old issues. West's distinct perspective on life makes for books that are both easy to read and take a while to fully comprehend. Although he is already well-known in academic circles, the general public is starting to notice him more and more. His thoughts should become more widely available to readers thanks to this publication.-- Journal of Library
