Join us at Revolution Books
(1103 N. Ashland Ave., Chicago)
For a videotaped roundtable and discussion on
Michael Eric Dyson's article in the current
New Republic: "The Ghost of Cornel West"
An article was recently published in The New Republic about Dr. Cornel West by author and political commentator Michael Eric Dyson. We are gathering at Revolution Books to watch the video from Revolution Book NYC of Carl and Andy Zee discussing the article: "In Defense of Cornel West: Is Barack Obama Right, or Has Michael Eric Dyson Lost His Mind?" and join in the discussion here.
From the Revolution article:
"This Sunday, The New Republic posted a vicious attack on Cornel West, 'The Ghost of Cornel West,' by Michael Eric Dyson.

All the sound and fury of Dyson's long rant cannot hide that essential, and shameful, fact..."
