A passionate examination of the social and economic injustices that continue to shackle the American people
Praise for Workin' on the Chain Gang:
". . . bracing and provocative. . . ."
-Publishers Weekly
". . . clear-sighted . . . Mosley offers chain-breaking ideas. . . ."
-Los Angeles Times Book Review
"[A] thoroughly potent dismantling of Yanqui capitalism, the media, and the entertainment business, and at the same time a celebration of rebellion, truth as a tool for emancipation, and much else besides. . . ."
-Toronto Globe and Mail
"Workin' on the Chain Gang excels at expressing feelings of ennui that transcend race. . . . beautiful language and penetrating insights into the necessity of confronting the past."
-Washington Post
"Mosley eloquently examines what liberation from consumer capitalism might look like. . . . readers receptive to a progressive critique of the religion of the market will value Mosley's creative contribution."
