Martin & Malcolm & America: A Dream or a Nightmare

Author: James H. Cone
Edition: Paperback
Publisher: Orbis Books; Reprint edition

Description of James H. Cone, author of Martin Malcolm America:

This ground-breaking and highly acclaimed work examines the two most influential African-American leaders of this century. While Martin Luther King, Jr. saw America as "essentially a dream . . . as yet unfulfilled," Malcolm X viewed America as a realized nightmare. James Cone cuts through superficial assessments of King and Malcolm as polar opposites to reveal two men whose visions were complementary and moving toward convergence.
