Miller w jason (151 risultati)

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Since Martin Luther King Jr.?s ?I Have a Dream? speech, some scholars have privately suspected that King?s ?dream? was connected to Langston Hughes?s poetry. Drawing on archival materials, including notes, correspondence, and marginalia, W. Jason Miller provides a completely original and compelling argument that Hughes?s influence on King?s rhetoric was, in fact, evident in more than just the one famous speech.King?s staff had been wiretapped by J. Edgar Hoover and suffered accusations of communist influence, so quoting or naming the leader of the Harlem Renaissance?who had his own reputation as a communist?would only have intensified the threats against the civil rights activist. Thus, the link was purposefully veiled through careful allusions in King?s orations. In Origins of the Dream, Miller lifts that veil and shows how Hughes?s revolutionary poetry became a measurable inflection in King?s voice. He contends that by employing Hughes?s metaphors in his speeches, King negotiated a political climate that sought to silence the poet?s subversive voice. By separating Hughes?s identity from his poems, King helped the nation unconsciously embrace the incendiary ideas behind his poetry.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. As the first black author in America to make his living exclusively by writing, Langston Hughes inspired a generation of writers and activists. One of the pioneers of jazz poetry, Hughes led the Harlem Renaissance, while Martin Luther King invoked his signature metaphor of dreaming in his speeches.In this new biography, W. Jason Miller illuminates Hughes's status as an international literary figure through a compelling look at the relationship between his extraordinary life and his canonical works. Drawing on unpublished letters and manuscripts, Miller addresses Hughes's often ignored contributions to the civil rights movement of the 1960s and his complex and well-guarded sexuality, and repositions him as a writer, rather than merely the most beloved African American poet of the twentieth century.…
