Description: In 1967, Dr. King, isolated himself from the demands of the civil rights movement, rented a house in Jamaica with no telephone, and labored over his final manuscript. This significantly prophetic work, which has been unavailable for more than 10 years, provides King's acute analysis of American race relations and the state of the movement after a decade of civil rights efforts.
Review Quotes: Martin Luther King, Jr., was one of the greatest organic intellectuals in American history. His unique ability to connect the life of the mind to the struggle for freedom is legendary, and in this book-his last grand expression of his vision-he put forward his most prophetic challenge to powers that be and his most progressive program for the wretched of the earth.--Cornel West, professor of religion and African American studies, Princeton University, and author of Race Matters
