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"." -- Inside cover. 600 10 $a West, Cornel. 600 10 $a West, Cornel $x Political and social views. 650 0 $a African American intellectuals $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American scholars $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American college teachers $v Biography. 700 1 $a Ritz, David. 941 $a 1 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722025837.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=19F3D472036211E08EFF62C86AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b IW9Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
