DESCRIPTION - 'A vade mecum for those interested in the cultural ingredients, the political values, and the artistic sensibilities that united Langston Hughes and Martin Luther King, Jr in spirit, thought, and outlook Masterfully conceived, meticulously researched, and gracefully written, this book breaks new ground in the scholarship on both Hughes and King ' - Lewis V Baldwin, author of There is a Balm in Gilead: The Cultural Roots of Martin Luther King, Jr. 'Majestic Grounded in astute interpretations of how speech acts function in history, this book is an exemplary model for future inquiries about the confluence of thought, poetry, and social action ' - Jerry Ward, Jr , coeditor of The Cambridge History of African American Literature. 'Archival material is spotlighted in Miller's exploration of the way's Martin Luther King Jr enlarged the appeal of his rhetoric by using poetry in his speeches Readers will emerge with a greater appreciation of both King and Langston Hughes ' - Donna Akiba Sullivan Harper, author of The Later Simple Stories (The Collected Works of Langston Hughes, Volume 8). 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. inventory #41402 Very Good in Pictoral Boards.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - For years, some scholars have privately suspected Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech was connected to Langston Hughes's poetry, and the link between the two was purposefully veiled through careful allusions in King's orations. In Origins of the Dream, W. Jason Miller lifts that veil to demonstrate how Hughes's revolutionary poetry became a measurable inflection in King's voice, and that the influence can be found in more than just the one famous speech.Miller contends that by employing Hughes's metaphors in his speeches, King negotiated a political climate that sought to silence the poet's subversive voice. He argues that by using allusion rather than quotation, King avoided intensifying the threats and accusations against him, while allowing the nation to unconsciously embrace the incendiary ideas behind Hughes's poetry.…
