Majestic. Grounded in astute interpretations of how speech acts function in history, this book is an exemplary model for future inquiries about the confluence of thought, poetry, and social action.Jerry Ward Jr., coeditor of The Cambridge History of African American LiteratureA vade mecum for those interested in the cultural ingredients, the political values, and the artistic sensibilities that united Langston Hughes and Martin Luther King Jr. in spirit, thought, and outlook. Masterfully conceived, meticulously researched, and gracefully written, this book breaks new ground.Lewis V. Baldwin, author of There Is a Balm in Gilead: The Cultural Roots of Martin Luther King, Jr.Archival material is spotlighted in Millers exploration of the ways Martin Luther King Jr. enlarged the appeal of his rhetoric by using poetry in his speeches. Readers will emerge with a greater appreciation of both King and Langston Hughes.Donna Akiba Sullivan Harper, editor of The Later Simple Stories (The Collected Works of Langston Hughes, Volume 8)Millers study provides an original, engaging and provocative thesis that explores the hitherto unexplored links between two twentieth century African American icons.John A. Kirk, editor of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement: Controversies and DebatesFor years, some scholars have privately suspected Martin Luther King Jr.s I Have a Dream speech was connected to Langston Hughess poetry, and the link between the two was purposefully veiled through careful allusions in Kings orations. In Origins of the Dream, W. Jason Miller lifts that veil to demonstrate how Hughess revolutionary poetry became a measurable inflection in Kings voice, and that the influence can be found in more than just the one famous speech.Miller contends that by employing Hughess metaphors in his speeches, King negotiated a political climate that sought to silence the poets subversive voice. He argues that by using allusion rather than quotation, King avoided intensifying the threats and accusations against him, while allowing the nation to unconsciously embrace the incendiary ideas behind Hughess poetry.
