"""Darrell Wesley has put a pen to words that inoculate the human spirit with wisdom from one of the greatest contemporary intellects I know. This work is a must-read for those who desire to transcend their current reality to a place where only a few dare to live, freedom."" --Charley Hames Jr., bishop, Christian Methodist Episcopal Church ""Toward a Postmodern Ethic of Radical Freedom is an essential and insightful book. Working in academia, I see it as a required reading for American Studies and interdisciplinary programs. Darrell Wesley brilliantly brings Cornel West and Michel Foucault, two postmodern giants, into a conversation that will change how the academy conceptualizes the connection between theory and practice. Scholars, public intellectuals, church leaders, and practitioners have been waiting on this book. An amazing gift!"" --Bennie L. Harris, chancellor, University of South Carolina Upstate ""In the first ever book written about Cornel West and Michel Foucault, Toward a Postmodern Ethic of Radical Freedom is personal, theoretical, and practical. Darrell Wesley weaves philosophy, social theory, religious epistemology, and metaphysics into a manifesto of hope. Ingeniously, this text shows how deep philosophic notions can serve as resources for existential self-help. In a word, this book is nothing short of genius."" --Glenn S. Johnson, professor of urban planning and environmental policy, Texas Southern University"
