Overview

New York Times–bestselling author Cornel West is one of America’s most provocative and admired public intellectuals. Whether in the classroom, the streets, the prisons, or the church, Dr. West’s penetrating brilliance has been a bright beacon shining through the darkness for decades. Yet, as he points out in this new memoir, “I’ve never taken the time to focus on the inner dynamics of the dark precincts of my soul.”

\ \ That is, until now.

\ \ Brother West is like its author: brilliant, unapologetic, full of passion yet cool. This poignant memoir traces West’s transformation from a schoolyard Robin Hood into a progressive cultural icon. From his youthful investigation of the “death shudder” to why he embraced his calling of teaching over preaching, from his three marriages and his two precious children to his near-fatal bout with prostate cancer, West illuminates what it means to live as “an aspiring bluesman in a world of ideas and a jazzman in the life of the mind.” Woven together with the fibers of his lifelong commitment to the prophetic Christian tradition that began in Sacramento’s Shiloh Baptist Church, Brother West is a tale of a man courageous enough to be fully human, living and loving out loud.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
Quick witted and articulate, Cornel West is among the world's most provocative, admired, and widely discussed public intellectuals. In numerous books and other media, he has staked out his views on race, gender, class, foreign policy, and even jazz and poetry. Until now, however, he admits, "I've never taken the time to focus on the inner dynamics of the dark precincts of my soul." The soul-searching in Brother West is, as one would expect, laser-sharp. West's self-examination of his path from Tulsa schoolyards to major global forums is informed by the incisiveness and candor that have become his trademarks.

    motivational

    Brother West: Living and Loving Out Loud, A Memoir by the legendary Dr. Cornel West opened my eyes to the life of one of the people that I admire most in the field of higher education. West unapologetically laid his accomplishments, failures, joy, and pain out for the world to see in black and white. After reading about West's journey from a hot tempered youth to becoming one of the leading educators, writers, and lecturers in the American academy I was left feeling inspired and encouraged to follow my own "calling." The book was very motivational and I recommend it to anyone who is looking to read a story about what "could be" if you work hard enough for it .

    A Good Read

    While I am a dear fan of Brother West and liked his book a great deal, I was slightly disturbed by his inability to maintain healthy relationships with the women and children in his life. His talk about love should first begin in the home. Too many African American men, for their own selfish reasons, have walked away from the women and children in thier lives and I can't get past this. We have to take care of home before we take care of the larger community. I still deeply admire this brother, but this was a sore point of the book for me.
