Cornel West

Cornel West
“Who wants to be well-adjusted to injustice? What kind of human being do you want to be?”
Cornel Ronald West is an American philosopher, author, critic, pastor, actor, and civil rights activist, as well as a prominent member of the Democratic Socialists of America. West currently serves as the Class of 1943 University Professor at Princeton University, where he teaches in the Center for African American Studies and in the department of Religion. West is known for his combination of political and moral insight and criticism, and his contribution to the post-1960s civil rights movement. The bulk of his work focuses upon the role of race, gender, and class in American society, and the means by which people act and react to their “radical conditionedness.”
