Martin Luther King Jr.: A Reference Guide to His Life and Works allows the reader to explore not just the facets of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s career but the network of associates across the Civil Rights Movement that enabled him to move forward with his campaigns for racial justice. Drawing on wide-ranging scholarship, the volume allows the reader to understand King in the context of his times. It features a chronology, an introduction that briefly covers his life, a comprehensive bibliography, and a dictionary section with entries on people, places, and events related to him.
Ling is a prolific historian of the Civil Rights Movement who previously wrote the narrative biography Martin Luther King, Jr. (2002; second ed., 2015) as part of the "Routledge Historical Biographies" series. This reference work, co-authored by Deverick, includes achronology, introduction, and an outstanding topical bibliography that covers comparison to Gandhi, the Vietnam War, and King's theology. The well-researched entries include bolded personal names for individuals noted within the text. Most praiseworthy, the text includes highly useful and hard-to-find ready reference information, such as the date King met Richard Nixon, or Rosa Parks's little-known predecessors who had earlier integrated Montgomery buses. The work amply praises King's profound impact on American history, but the authors do not ignore charges of his plagiarism. Diligently researched, this work will greatly benefit students and scholars of King. Recommended. All readers. * Choice Reviews *
