reviewed Identity work on July 13, 2014
Identity work
An uneven book marred by bad chapters. For instance Chapter 9 tries to relate King to rappers. Did Dr. King swear and use profanities in his speeches from the pulpit? Also there is overuse of rhetoric, repetitiveness and useless digressions (or rants). Is it necessary to know what Mr. Dyson thinks of Clinton – this is a digression.
Nevertheless there are some good critiques. King did not allow women a proper place in the ‘movement’ – the SCLC. For Dr. King women appeared to be playthings.
Also there is good criticism of King’s successors – namely Coretta and family in chapter13.
