Abstract

Includes the entire text of "I Have A Dream""I have a dream"-no words are more widely recognized, or more often repeated, than those called out from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial by Martin Luther King, Jr., in 1963. King's speech, elegantly structured and commanding in tone, has become shorthand not only for his own life but for the entire civil rights movement. In this new exploration of the "I have a dream" speech, Eric J. Sundquist places it in the history of American debates about racial justice-debates as old as the nation itself-and demonstrates how the speech, an exultant blend of grand poetry and powerful elocution, perfectly expressed the story of African American freedom. This book is the first to set King's speech within the cultural and rhetorical traditions on which the civil rights leader drew in crafting his oratory, as well as its essential historical contexts, from the early days of the republic through present-day Supreme Court rulings. At a time when the meaning of the speech has been obscured by its appropriation for every conceivable cause, Sundquist clarifies the transformative power of King's "Second Emancipation Proclamation" and its continuing relevance for contemporary arguments about equality.

Abstract

Peu de figures universellement célébrées sont aussi mal connues que Martin Luther King Jr. La lutte pour les droits civiques et l’égalité des Noirs dont le pasteur baptiste prit la tête est remémorée comme un appel à la fraternité et à l’unité nationale que l’Amérique sut entendre. Ce récit édifiant a considérablement aseptisé la force révolutionnaire de sa pensée et la brutalité de l’oppression contre laquelle il s’insurgeait. Qui se souvient qu’à peine un an après avoir reçu le prix Nobel de la paix, King déclara que son rêve était devenu un cauchemar en raison de l’enracinement du système d’exploitation capitaliste ? La fin de la ségrégation institutionnelle en 1964 n’était à ses yeux qu’une étape. L’ultime phase de son combat, qui culmina avec la « Campagne des pauvres » et que son assassinat en 1968 laissa inachevée, fut quasiment effacée de la mémoire des États-Unis et avec elle le sens profond de son engagement. Penseur de la justice sociale, Martin Luther King opéra une extraordinaire synthèse entre christianisme, liturgie noire, non-violence, désobéissance civile et marxisme. C’est ce penseur avant-gardiste et radical à la postérité édulcorée que cet ouvrage entend faire redécouvrir en l’inscrivant dans une tradition de dissidence américaine trop souvent ignorée.
