One Dream or Two? is a critical historical, constitutional, and philosophical examination of Martin Luther King Jr's understanding of justice -- his "Dream" -- from within the context of the American political tradition. Nathan Schlueter introduces King's "I Have a Dream Speech" and then isolates elements of his larger vision for social justice -- paying special attention to issues of racial discrimination, political economy, civil disobedience, and the relationship between politics and religion -- situating those elements within historical, rhetorical, and political context.
