Mahamadou Lamine Sagna: Cornel West Matters, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In this book Mahamadou Lamine Sagna offers a masterful portrait of Cornel West as scholar, activist, and man of faith. He does so through a careful reading of West's writings and his unique dialectic approach to understanding politics, democracy, religion and race in America. He also explores the way West brings religion and music-particularly blues and jazz-into philosophy. First published in English translation in 2019, Cornel West Matters received limited distribution in North America. This second edition, published by WPI Press, ensures that Sagna's important and timely study will find a new audience at a time when West's rebellious thoughts again have global resonance, especially in an age when race and violence have come to define modern life.
