A propos de l'auteur

Martin Luther King, Jr. was born on January 15, 1929 into a middle-class black family in Atlanta, Georgia. He received a degree from Morehouse College. While there his early concerns for social justice for African Americans were deepened by reading Henry David Thoreau's essay "Civil Disobedience." afficher plus He enrolled in Crozer Theological Seminary and there became acquainted with the Social Gospel movement and the works of its chief spokesman, Walter Rauschenbusch. Mohandas Gandhi's practice of nonviolent resistance (ahimsaahimsa) later became a tactic for transforming love into social change. After seminary, he postponed his ministry vocation by first earning a doctorate at Boston University School of Theology. There he discovered the works of Reinhold Niebuhr and was especially struck by Niebuhr's insistence that the powerless must somehow gain power if they are to achieve what is theirs by right. In the Montgomery bus boycott, it was by economic clout that African Americans broke down the walls separating the races, for without African American riders, the city's transportation system nearly collapsed. The bus boycott took place in 1954, the year King and his bride, Coretta Scott, went to Montgomery, where he had been called to serve as pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church. Following the boycott, he founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) to coordinate civil rights organizations. Working through African American churches, activists led demonstrations all over the South and drew attention, through television and newspaper reports, to the fact that nonviolent demonstrations by blacks were being suppressed violently by white police and state troopers. The federal government was finally forced to intervene and pass legislation protecting the right of African Americans to vote and desegregating public accommodations. For his nonviolent activism, King received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. While organizing a "poor people's campaign" to persuade Congress to take action against poverty, King accepted an invitation to visit Memphis, Tennessee, where sanitation workers were on strike. There, on April 4, 1968, he was gunned down while standing on the balcony of his hotel. (Bowker Author Biography) afficher moins

I have a dream : Suivi de La nation et la race par Martin Luther King

« I have a dream »

Ce petit livre de la collection Les Grands Discours aux éditions Points est tout à fait charmant. Il réunit différents discours sur la thématique de l’égalité des hommes dans la communauté nationale.

On doit saluer les propos introductifs, les quelques notes en bas de page et l’appareillage critique ainsi que la chronologie biographique qui permet un bref rappel du parcours des auteurs en présence.

On appréciera également le texte dans sa version originale. En effet, cette édition bilingue présente le grand avantage d’être un outil pédagogique tant pour les professeurs d’histoire que de langue mais aussi une édition de qualité pour les curieux et les savants.

Ce livre permet de mettre dans toutes les poches de grands discours qui ont fait l’histoire et qui sont quelques fois le produit de situations historiques. Ils sont aussi révélateurs de l’esprit des peuples et plus largement de l’humanité entière. On y retrouve quelques fois la marque du temps, le génie d’un homme ou d’une femme illustre ; rarement la bassesse profonde.

Une bonne édition, de qualité et à prix modique !… (plus d'informations)
