Celebrated Stanford University historian Clayborne Carson is the director and editor of the Martin Luther King Papers Project; with thousands of King's essays, notes, letters, speeches, and sermons at his disposal, Carson has organized King's writings into a posthumous autobiography. In an early student essay, King prophetically penned: "We cannot have an enlightened democracy with one great group living in ignorance.... We cannot have a nation orderly and sound with one group so ground down and thwarted that it is almost forced into unsocial attitudes and crime." Such statements, made throughout King's career, are skillfully woven together into a coherent narrative of the quest for social justice. The autobiography delves, for example, into the philosophical training King received at Morehouse College, Crozer Theological Seminary, and Boston University, where he consolidated the teachings of Afro-American theologian Benjamin Mays with the philosophies of Locke, Rousseau, Gandhi, and Thoreau. Through King's voice, the reader intimately shares in his trials and triumphs, including the Montgomery Boycott, the 1963 "I Have a Dream Speech," the Selma March, and the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize. In one of his last speeches, King reminded his audience that "in the final analysis, God does not judge us by the separate incidents or the separate mistakes that we make, but by the total bent of our lives." Carson's skillful editing has created an original argument in King's favor that draws directly from the source, illuminating the circumstances of King's life without deifying his person. --Eugene Holley Jr.

Das „Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)“ war eine der zentralen Organisationen der schwarzen Bürgerrechtsbewegung in den USA. In den sechziger Jahren führten seine gewaltfreien Massenaktionen zu einem intensiven Kampf gegen rassistische Diskriminierung. Carson beschreibt die gesamte Entwicklungsgeschichte des SNCC, beginnend mit den Erfolgen der frühen Jahre, als die Mitglieder an die Kraft der gewaltfreien Aktion und den graswurzelrevolutionären Ansatz glaubten. Mit Aktionen wie 'Sit-Ins', 'Freiheitsfahrten' und Wählerregistrierungskampagnen griff das SNCC das segregierte System im Süden an und stellte die dominierende Rolle von Martin Luther King in der Bewegung in Frage. Im Laufe des Jahrzehnts wurden die gewaltfreien Strömungen zurückgedrängt, und das SNCC geriet unter den Einfluss militanten, separatistischen schwarzen Nationalismus. Carson zeigt diese Entwicklung nicht als geradlinige Radikalisierung, sondern als Zerfall einer einst starken Organisation. „Zeiten des Kampfes“ ist nicht nur die Geschichte einer Bürgerrechtsorganisation, sondern auch eine Analyse der Erfolge und Misserfolge sozialer Bewegungen. Carson, ein ehemaliges Mitglied des SNCC und Professor für Geschichte an der Stanford University, erhielt für sein Werk den „Frederick Jackson Turner Award“.
