FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The burgeoning terrain of Martin Luther King Jr. studies is leading to a new appreciation of his thought and its meaningfulness for the emergence and shaping of the twenty-first-century world. This volume brings together an impressive array of scholars from various backgrounds and disciplines to explore the global significance of King—then, now, and in the future.Employing Kings metaphor of "the great world house," the major focus is on Kings appraisal of the global-human struggle in the 1950s and 1960s, his relevance for todays world, and how future generations might constructively apply or appropriate his key ideas and values in addressing racism, poverty and economic injustice, militarism, sexism, homophobia, the environmental crisis, globalization, and other challenges confronting humanity today. The contributors treat King in context and beyond context, taking seriously the historical King while also exploring how his name, activities, contributions, and legacy are still associated with a globalized rights culture.

Many try to define what he has meant to this country and the world but fall short. For those who yearn for his voice, this book provides an exceptional opportunity to hear from scholars who have studied him deeply and are keepers of his flame. This book is a chance to discover how King helped lead the fifty-year transformation of American society and the ways we can continue to demand respect for human dignity today.Perhaps the best way to summarize this instructive volume is to conclude that King did not leave us precise instructions regarding how to live peacefully in the world house, but he did call upon us to learn for ourselves how to live as brothers or together we will be forced to perish as fools. * Journal of American History * Promotional A global context for understanding the intellectual and sociopolitical legacy of MLK in the twenty-first century Review Quote We may need to understand the mission and the message of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. now more than ever before.
