James Cone, the leading Black American religious thinker of his generation, explores the meaning of both Martin Luther King and Malcolm X's visions for social justice in America.

At the very least, this book helps demostrate how commodotized MLK's "I have a dream" speech has become. MLK's dream was a post-capitalist economic order, something beyond the system that was judged, by Malcolm X, to be a nightmare for most Americans. Let's see if anyone in the media tells you that today during their paens to MLK.

An excellent book on a hugely important issue.
