Chapter 1 Prologue Chapter 2 I Have A Dream Chapter 3 The Foundations of Liberalism in America and in King Chapter 4 Racial Discrimination Chapter 5 Political Economy Chapter 6 Civil Disobedience Chapter 7 Conclusion
Nathan Schlueter is Assistant Professor of Political Science at St. Ambrose University.
Schlueter interprets the I Have a Dream speech through an
insightful and extensive consideration of Martin Luther King Jr's
social, religious, political, and economic thought. By juxtaposing
King's appreciation of the American ideals of equality and freedom
with King's criticism of how these principles were unequally
practiced, Schlueter offers a more capacious assessment of King's
dream than is typically rendered by either liberal or conservative
commentators. Next to the speeches and writings of Martin Luther
King Jr, One Dream or Two? offers the best introduction to King's
political agenda and its place in the development of American
liberalism...
*Lucas Morel, Washington and Lee University*
One Dream or Two? is an important addition to the growing body of
work on one of the most significant figures of the twentieth
century.
*Bridges*
The legacy of Martin Luther King Jr is debated, should be debated,
and likely will be debated for generations to come. This book is an
uncommonly fair-minded and informed contribution to that
debate.
