Off The Page Debate Tavis Smiley Dr Cornel West

New York Times best-selling author Tavis Smiley takes the literary world by the teeth as he saunters away from a seven figure deal in a mainstream publishing house and launches his own imprint Smiley Books. One of the authors is Princeton professor, academic, scholar, author and public intellectual Dr Cornel West, author of 'Race Matters'. Smiley and West engage in thoughtful, passionate Off The Page debate. They discuss the business of integrity versus the business of economics, taking editorial control, who really effectively markets black books and striking out in a bid for literary self-determination
