To Seek a Newer World is a collection of essays written and compiled by Robert F. Kennedy in which he examines the serious, pressing issues of his time. These essays grew out of speeches, travel, and professional experiences. The book poses the question: “Are we willing to dare?” Published shortly before his death, the book examines and unravels the political preferences and ideas posed by Kennedy throughout his personal life, as well as those most significant to him throughout his tenure in the US government. Some of the points discussed in the book are issues of nuclear control, Chinese foreign policy, and the Vietnam War. A section is dedicated to discussing the financial and institutional strains on poorer communities, as well as polarizing race relations in America.
