I May Not Get There with You: The True Martin Luther King Jr.
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page review of the book by Michael Eric Dyson. Discusses Dyson's portrayal of Martin Luther King Jr's life and accomplishments. Delineates the theme and purpose of the book, its significant findings, conclusions, and the importance of Dyson's sources. Concludes that the author sometimes goes overboard in excusing the more reprehensible of King's actions such as the plagiarizing of much of his academic writing, cheating on his wife, and succumbing to sexism. While it is easy enough to accept Dyson's premise that King's accomplishments outweigh his indiscretions, Dyson takes the stance that King's more reprehensible actions are not his fault but a circumstance of his time, a fault of government and white society. Never-the-less, "I May Not Get There with You: The True Martin Luther King Jr." is certainly worth reading to get an alternate view of a man we all thought we knew but whose true complexities far outweigh our memories of him.

Indian Captivity and Slave Narratives: Contrasts and Similarities
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page overview of the predominant viewpoints expressed in Indian Captivity Narrative and the Slave Narratives, two of the most important types of literature produced during the American colonial period. Contends that while both were concerned with the circumstances of captivity and the ever-present temptation of escape and overall issues of race, these two narrative forms differed in the type of propaganda which they delivered (Been, 2000). Indian captivity narratives, in effect, supported the U.S. government and the mainstream white culture. Slave narratives, on the other hand, were critical of that culture and government. Indian captivity narratives saved their criticism for the Native American peoples who held whites captive. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
