Through an exceptional mastery of dialectics, and an articulate honest rhetoric, Cornel West delivers a scathing criticism of American leadership. And he invites us to draw inspiration from Martin Luther King's prophetic thoughts as they are imbued with the spirit of the blues and jazz. To extinguish the fire of ultra-liberalism Cornel West suggests dousing its inflammatory sources: the cowboy myth and the white supremacist ideology. But what pushes this celebrated intellectual who lectures at America's best universities to persist in his posture - regardless of the immense price he might have to pay?
Mahamadou Lamine Sagna bids the reader to turn to Socrates, the Greek philosopher that Cornel West admires and often quotes. Like Socrates Cornel West uses irony and pedagogy to philosophize. He encourages youth to not believe in the dogmas of capitalism - market economy, supposedly legitimized authoritarianism and militarism. Cornel West, the radical philosopher who repeats time and again « When I've got the blues, I sing the blues", invites us to invent a new era, a window to a new manner of living the world.
