Book Reviews of Race Matters

Book Review: Brillant-Short and sweet
Summary: 5 Stars

One of the first things that you notice about the book-Race Matters by Cornel West is the length, or lack thereof. However when you read Race Matters, you realize why Dr. West chhoses to make it short and sweet. Does this book need to be updated now that we have an Afr.-Amer. president? Unfortunately, no! I would like to see Dr. West create a Race Matters Vol. 2. Dr. West is not a monolithic Afr.-Amer. author/thinker. He had no problem supporting Obama for the Pres., but when he sees Obama not sticking up for the downtrodden, he's ready to offer constructive crit. That's why as a fellow author of Plain Talk-Vol. 1 I would like to request that Dr. West do a follow up to Race Matters.Plain Talk - Volume 1

Summary of Race Matters

First published in 1993 on the one-year anniversary of the L.A. riots, Race Matters has since become an American classic. Beacon Press is proud to present this hardcover edition with a new introduction by Cornel West. The issues that it addresses are as controversial and urgent as before, and West's insights remain fresh, exciting, and timely. Now more than ever, Race Matters is a book for all Americans-one that will help us build a genuine multiracial democracy.
