Publisher Synopsis
It is no longer true that the radicalism of Dr. King is ignored . . . but no book so thoroughly shows how his radicalism, and changes in it, developed through study and, especially, through participation in a social movement confronting the deadly serious problems of racial capitalism. Prophet of Discontent is a significant contribution to the study of both King and the movement. This is an excellent book, full of terrific insights into the world of Martin Luther King Jr. and what he has to offer theoretically and methodologically to contemporary issues of race, economics, and politics. . . . It reveals, through superb writing, how King's contributions stemmed from real-world, real-life social and economic circumstances. Read more...
