Personally I love Achebe's work...I read "things fall apart" in high school & I just finished "arrow of god". The cultural and linguistic differences can make his work hard to follow, but the statements he makes are powerful.

As far as Cornel West is concerned, I intend on reading more of his work asap. I think he sparks thought. Even if he's not a man of action per se, does that mean he doesn't have ideas and a vision that can motivate those who are about making change?

As for the vocab, I'm sorry, but that's a poor excuse. Like someone said earlier, pick up the dictionary & read that and West at the same time. I think some of the folks sayin that would be quick to jump on some "they schools" shit. Don't complain and then be afraid to educate your damn self.

peace
