Description

Keeping Faith is a powerful collection of essays on politics and philosophy, the role of the black intellectual, legal theory and the fate of African Americans. In Keeping Faith , Cornel West performs his unique blend of thorough-going critique and animated political engagement. He situates the current position of African Americans by tracing the genealogy of the 'African-American Rebellion' through the Rev. Dr Martin Luther King Jr.'s ability to sucure together the most progressive forces in the black southern community, to the rise of black revolutionary leftists in response to the unanswered needs of the black underclass. Woven into his discussion, West explicates both the opportunities and limitations of liberalism and nationalism, and goes on to suggest new strategies to galvanize and propel a new generation of African Americans. Both troubling and exhilarating, this book maps not only the concerns of one of the most significant public intellectuals of the day, but issues which are crucial and immediate to intellectuals and lay people of all races.
