JVL Introduction
Canada’s National Observer writes:
Donald Trump has stoked white nationalistic and misogynistic sentiments in the U.S., which, in turn, have raised issues of identity politics and class.
To plumb the nuances of these matters, Canada’s National Observer interviewed Cornel West, 67, one of America’s most prominent progressive intellectuals and a professor at Harvard University on the practice of public philosophy.
The author of 20 books, including Race Matters, Black Prophetic Fire and Democracy Matters, West is a larger-than-life presence in the American cultural and political sphere.

Chilling but brilliant and insightful interview.
Clear parallels with Britain. Biden and Starmer.
We should weep for this world and what we are blindly walking into.
