Cornel West, the Class of 1943 Professor at Princeton University, has been called "one of America's most provocative, public intellectuals." The New York Times has praised West's "ferocious moral vision." Newsweek heralded him as an "eloquent prophet with attitude." West's book, "Race Matters," won the American Book Award and "changed the course of America's dialogue on race, justice and democracy." In "Democracy Matters," West analyzes the arrested development of democracy both in America and in the crisis-ridden Middle East. In his latest book, "Hope on a Tightrope," he offers courageous commentary on issues that affect the lives of all Americans. Themes include Race, Leadership, Faith, Family, Philosophy, and Love and Service. West has won numerous awards and has received more than 20 honorary degrees. He also was an influential force in developing the storyline for the popular Matrix movie trilogy.| 83 Windham Street, Willimantic, Connecticut 06226 USA | Phone Number: 1-860-465-5000 | Email Webmaster Eastern Connecticut State University is one of four universities of the Connecticut State University System Eastern is proud to be a member of COPLAC, the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges University Disclaimer |
