À propos de cet audio
The 25th-anniversary edition of the groundbreaking classic, with a new introduction
First published in 1993, on the one-year anniversary of the Los Angeles riots, Race Matters became a national best seller that has gone on to sell more than half a million copies. This classic treatise on race contains Dr. West's most incisive essays on the issues relevant to black Americans, including the crisis in leadership in the Black community, Black conservatism, Black-Jewish relations, myths about Black sexuality, and the legacy of Malcolm X. The insights Dr. West brings to these complex problems remain relevant, provocative, creative, and compassionate.
In a new introduction for the 25th-anniversary edition, Dr. West argues that we are in the midst of a spiritual blackout characterized by imperial decline, racial animosity, and unchecked brutality and terror as seen in Baltimore, Ferguson, and Charlottesville. Calling for a moral and spiritual awakening, Dr. West finds hope in the collective and visionary resistance exemplified by the Movement for Black Lives, Standing Rock, and the Black freedom tradition.
Now more than ever, Race Matters is an essential book for all Americans, helping us to build a genuine multiracial democracy in the new millennium.

Excellent insight.
In my opinion, Dr. Cornell West is a genius. In this book, he carries on the work of the civil rights activists of the mid 20th century, while respectfully and skillfully criticizing many of their ideas and beliefs. Also, mainstream American politics receives a well-deserved criticism, leaving neither Republicans nor Democrats unscathed. This book is not only a critique of white American culture and white supremacy, but also a critique of the ways in which the fight for racial equality has erred.
A great listen. Highly recommended.

Genuine critiques and proposed solutions.
I really enjoyed this book because Dr. West provides brutally honest critiques across the political and racial spectrums in what I felt was the least divisive way possible. He also provides some proposed solutions for fighting white supremacy and racial inequality. I could feel his desire for a better world and for everyone to move forward together. It was also narrated by Dr. West which was awesome.

Had potential
Found it a little too intellectual and a bit wordy. But understood the spirit of the subject matter. The first couple chapters were really good though.
