Origins of the Dream: Hughes's Poetry and King's Rhetoric
Autor W. Jason Milleren Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 feb 2016
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. Lewis V. Baldwin, author of "There Is a Balm in Gilead: The Cultural Roots of Martin Luther King, Jr."
Archival material is spotlighted in Miller s exploration of the ways 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, editor of "The Later Simple Stories (The Collected Works of Langston Hughes, Volume 8)"
Miller s study provides an original, engaging and provocative thesis that explores the hitherto unexplored links between two twentieth century African American icons. John A. Kirk, editor of "Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement: Controversies and Debates"
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."
