Harvey will introduce many readers, perhaps for the first or only time, to the King of diverse religious and intellectual influences, of an increasingly radical cast of thought, and of a mélange of intellectual influences that he aligned in becoming the spokesperson for the most important social movement of twentieth-century American history. Not only does Harvey chronicle King’s metamorphosis and its impact on American and African American life, but he seeks to explain his “afterlives”—how in American culture King became transformed into a mainstream civil saint, shorn of his radical religious critique of how power functioned in America. Harvey’s concise biography will allow readers to see King anew in the context of his time and today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroductionThe Redemptive Power of Martin Luther King\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1Growing Up King\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2The Young Preacher in Boston and Montgomery\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3The Montgomery Uprising\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4Montgomery and SCLC\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5The Dream, the Letter, and the Nightmare\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 Struggling in Selma and Chicago\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7Shot Rings Out in the Memphis Sky\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpilogueThe Irrelevance of Sainthood: The Afterlives of King\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliographic Essay\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041127858519,"sku":"9781538115923","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781538115923.jpg?v=1750949044","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/martin-luther-king-a-religious-life-9781538115923","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
