A headlong plunge into the dregs of contemporary human futility,
"Anxiety and Depression"--published in JRP]Ringier's Hapax
series--describes, with relentless and clerical rigor, how we live
now. Author Scott King has packed this almost anthropological
survey with case studies in self-hatred, anxiety and despair, as
well as exercises in which the reader can measure his or her daily
humiliations.
In 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., isolated himself from the
demands of the civil rights movement, rented a house in Jamaica
with no telephone, and labored over his final manuscript. In this
important work, which has been unavailable for more than ten years,
we find King's acute analysis of American race relations and the
state of the movement after a decade of civil rights efforts.
King lays out his thoughts, plans, and dreams for America's
future, including the need for better jobs, higher wages, decent
housing, and quality education. Today, as African American
communities stand to lose more wealth than any other demographic
during this economic crisis, King's call for economic equality and
sustainability is especially pertinent. With a universal message of
hope that continues to resonate, King demanded an end to global
suffering, asserting that humankind--for the first time--has the
resources and technology to eradicate poverty.
This timeless volume includes highlights from the legendary civil
rights leader's speeches, sermons and writings, selected by his
wife, who contributes an introduction to Dr King's life and legacy.

'Coretta is more relevant today than ever . . . a female who takes
responsibility for creating something better in the time she has
and the space she has to occupy: that is true greatness. And
Coretta did that.' Maya Angelou Born in 1927 in the Deep South,
Coretta Scott always felt called to a special purpose. After an
awakening to political and social activism at college, Coretta went
on to study at the New England Conservatory of Music, where she met
Martin Luther King Jr. - the man who would one day become her
husband. The union thrust Coretta into a maelstrom of history,
throughout which her tireless fight for political and social
justice established her as a champion of American civil rights.
Now, fifty years after her husband's death, the story of Coretta's
life is told in full for the first time: a love story, a family
saga, a record of the legacy left by this extraordinary woman.
