Clemons, Lakeyta M. Bonnette-Bailey, Donathan L. Brown, Hannah Firdyiwek, Alonzo M. Flowers III, Helen Taylor Greene, William G. Jones, Athena M. King, Taj'ullah Sky Lark, Jamela M. Martin, Marcus L. Martin, Byron D'Andra Orey, Amardo Rodriguez, Audrey E. Snyder, James L. Taylor, Leslie U. Walker, and Jason M. Williams This book examines how Martin Luther King's life and work had a profound, if unpredictable, impact on the course of the United States since the civil rights era. A global icon of freedom, justice, and equality, King is recognized worldwide as a beacon in the struggles of peoples seeking to eradicate oppression, entrenched poverty, social deprivation, as well as political and economic disfranchisement. While Dr. King's work and ideas have gained broad traction, some powerful people misappropriate the symbol of King, skewing his legacy. With unique, multidisciplinary works by scholars from around the country, this anthology focuses on contemporary social policies and issues in America. Collectively, these pieces explore wide-ranging issues and contemporary social developments through the lens of Dr. King's perceptions, analysis, and prescriptions. Essayists bring a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to social policies and current issues in light of his ideals. They strive to glean new approaches and solutions that comport with Dr. King's vision. Organized into three sections, the book focuses on selected issues in contemporary domestic politics and policy, foreign policy and foreign affairs, and social developments that impinge upon African Americans and Americans in general. Essays shed light on Dr. King's perspective related to crime and justice, the right to vote, the hip hop movement, American foreign policy in the Middle East and Africa, healthcare, and other pressing issues. This book infers what Dr. King's response and actions might be on important and problematic contemporary policy and social issues that have arisen in the post-civil rights era."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a King, Martin Luther, $c Jr., $d 1929-1968 $x Influence. 600 10 $a King, Martin Luther, $c Jr., $d 1929-1968 $x Philosophy. 600 17 $a King, Martin Luther, $c Jr., $d 1929-1968. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00040023 651 0 $a United States $x Social policy. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations. 651 0 $a United States $x Race relations. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / African American Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Discrimination & Race Relations. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Social Policy. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Freedom & Security / Civil Rights. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972484 650 7 $a Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060777 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Social policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122738 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Clemons, Michael L., $e editor. 700 1 $a Brown, Donathan L., $e editor. 700 1 $a Dorsey, William H.
