examines how Martin Luther King's life and work had a profound, if
unpredictable, impact on the course of the United States since the
civil rights era. A global icon of freedom, justice, and equality,
King is recognized worldwide as a beacon in the struggles of
peoples seeking to eradicate oppression, entrenched poverty, social
deprivation, as well as political and economic disfranchisement.
While Dr. King's work and ideas have gained broad traction, some
powerful people misappropriate the symbol of King, skewing his
legacy. With unique, multidisciplinary works by scholars from
around the country, this anthology focuses on contemporary social
policies and issues in America. Collectively, these pieces explore
wide-ranging issues and contemporary social developments through
the lens of Dr. King's perceptions, analysis, and prescriptions.
Essayists bring a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach
to social policies and current issues in light of his ideals. They
strive to glean new approaches and solutions that comport with Dr.
King's vision. Organized into three sections, the book focuses on
selected issues in contemporary domestic politics and policy,
foreign policy and foreign affairs, and social developments that
impinge upon African Americans and Americans in general. Essays
shed light on Dr. King's perspective related to crime and justice,
the right to vote, the hip hop movement, American foreign policy in
the Middle East and Africa, healthcare, and other pressing issues.
This book infers what Dr. King's response and actions might be on
important and problematic contemporary policy and social issues
that have arisen in the post-civil rights era.
