[Answered] HIST410N Week 5 Course Project: Annotated Bibliography

Instructions
Now that you have selected a topic for your final presentation, this week you will need to construct your annotated bibliography using APA style. For this assignment, you need to select a minimum of 8 sources that you plan on using for your presentation and then construct the annotations for each source. The concept of constructing a bibliography is certainly not new for most students, but you may not be as comfortable adding annotations to the bibliography entries.

After you select a source and reference it in APA format, construct the annotation for the source. The annotation is really just answering a few questions about the sources itself and once you answer these questions this part of the assignment almost creates itself. Answer the following 6 questions for each source:

  1. Main purpose of the source
  2. Intended audience for the source
  3. Relevance to your topic (or explain why it was not relevant to your topic)
  4. Author’s background and credibility
  5. Author’s conclusions or observations
  6. Your conclusions or observations

Dorrien, G. J. (2018). Breaking White Supremacy: Martin Luther King Jr. and the Black Social Gospel. Yale University Press.

This book, Written by Dorrien on Martin Luther King Jnr, uses a combination of theology, social ethics, philosophy, politics, and intellectual history fields. The author discusses how the African Americans in their civil rights movements from 1955-1968 rebelled against a century of racial caste in the US. Martin Luther became a celebrated icon by speaking against racial prejudice in the US by condemning its economic injustices to blacks. The author of this book has produced books on Christian socialism and social democratic politics and, therefore, has credibility in writing this book on Martin Luther King. The author concludes that Martin was a leader who stood against injustices in society. The observations I made in this book are that religion played a great role in uniting African Americans to stand and speak against racism and racist castes.
