TO SHAPE A NEW WORLD Essays on the Political Philosophy of Martin Luther King Jr.

With critical authors and talented narrators, this anthology explores the philosophical underpinnings of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s, work. The purpose is to more fully understand his ideas in the context of his time and to examine how they might be comprehended and applied to the present. No singular narrator steals the show, but, rather, each is well paired with the essays that they deliver. All the narrators shy away from trying to emulate King's speaking style and focus more on giving appropriate weight to the words being quoted. With such critical thinkers as Cornel West and Martha Nussbaum, this anthology contributes a meaningful discussion on how King's aspirations for undoing the harm of racism continue and where the struggle still remains.
