Summary: A difficult read, but well worth the work!
Comment: This is a wonderful, and much needed body of work. West is one of our Centuries greatest minds. Through his essays, and a few short stories, he weaves images of Black American Culture, classical philosophy, scientific theory, world history, and concepts of world religions into a tapestry of deep thought and serious innovation.
He's a philospher with the "funk" of James Brown, and the fluidity of water. He compares Chekovic to Coltrane. If you want a change from the "he/she" novels of a "Jerome Dickey", try this soulful delight.
Rating: 4
Summary: Right frame of mind.
Comment: Is he a carrerist? I don't know.Are his politics relevant?Very much so. Many assert that West's rhetoric and ruminations are irrelevant because racism isn't as "bad" as it used to be.Most of these critics are sheltered whites who don't come into contact with blacks or even attempt to take on an objective viewpoint about race.I imagine race relations are even worse than thirty years ago. Now everything is hidden and relegated to closed doors. Many whites assert that they never use the word nigger, but when they see "uppity" liberal African Americans such as Sharpton and West they certainly think it. If you want to gain a foothold in the political arena you better think white and act white,or else you're demonized by the media, liberal or conservative.

Summary: PC
Comment: It continues to amaze me how a supposedly prestigious University like Harvard puts people like Dershowitz and West out front. These gentleman are not so much scholars, as political propagandists for a thouroughly subjective agenda. Shameful.
