Yet Harvard professor Cornel West, author of the recent bestseller _Race Matters_, _The Ethical Dimension of Marxist Thought_, and _Jews and Blacks_ (co-authored with Michael Lerner), is prominently engaged in the national debate in this country in venues ranging from _Newsweek_ to the _Today Show_ to the Million Man March to left forums such as ours. Cornel West will discuss the role of "public intellectuals" and the problems of racism and xenophobia in a climate of political lethargy, economic decline, and cultural decay.
