Sumario:Martin Luther King has been widely studied as a preacher, an activist, and an orator, but less as an intellectual. This book situates King as one of the most important social and political philosophers of our time, arguing that King's systematic logic of nonviolence is at the same time new and deeply rooted in African American intellectual history.
