His writing is hard-hitting, often limned with a political subtext--aimed at a broad audience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OR Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781944869069\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.70h x 4.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Walter Mosley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36672020349084,"sku":"9781944869069","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0b5afde7-1814-4623-a7fc-9144beecedeb.jpg?v=1603926773","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/folding-the-red-into-the-black-developing-a-viable-untopia-for-human-survival-in-the-21st-century-9781944869069","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
