{"product_id":"9781944869069","title":"Folding the Red Into the Black: Developing a Viable Untopia for Human Survival in the 21st Century","description":"\u003cbr\u003eWalter Mosley is one of America's bestselling novelists, known for his critically acclaimed series of mysteries featuring private investigator Easy Rawlins. His writing is hard-hitting, often limned with a political subtext—aimed at a broad audience.\u003cp\u003eWhen Mosley was working on a doctorate in political theory, he envisioned himself writing very different kinds of books from the ones he writes now. But once you've been tagged as a novelist, and in Mosley's case, a genre writer, even a bestselling one, it is hard to get an airing of ideas that cross those boundaries. \u003ci\u003eFolding the Red into the Black\u003c\/i\u003e has grown out of Mosley's public talks, which have gotten both enthusiastic and agitated responses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMosley's is an elastic mind, and in this short monograph he frees himself to explore some novel ideas. He draws on personal experiences and insights as an African-American, a Jew, and one of our great writers to present an alternative manifesto of sorts: \"We need to throw off the unbearable weight of bureaucratic Capitalist and Socialist demands; demands that exist to perpetuate these systems, not to praise and raise humanity to its full promise. And so I propose the word, the term Untopia.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OR Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047581663472,"sku":"9781944869069","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781944869069_p0.jpg?v=1763770217","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781944869069","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
