Walter Mosley's book Workin' On The Chain Gang is a powerful and moving story of a man struggling to break free from the chains of history. Winston is a black man in the early 1940s who has been sentenced to work on the chain gang, a system that was designed to brutalize and enslave black people. Winston's fight for freedom is a story of courage and determination, and it is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always opportunity for hope.; Library of Contemporary Thought; 8vo; FSA ; Signed by Author.
