Guilford College: Christian Matheis Edits New Book

Press release from Guilford College:

October 7, 2021

Transformation: Towards A People’s Democracy (2021) is a movement book for anyone working for an expansive vision of social justice.

In this book, Suzanne Pharr chronicles social justice movements in a collection of essays spanning six decades of work at the front lines of organizing for democracy and social justice. "Transformation" offers a clear and compelling vision for action amid social and political turmoil. 

Suzanne, a Southern queer feminist and anti-racist organizer, explores the pitfalls and the strengths within social justice movements. Her writings reflect the collective work of thinkers and organizers who led activists to lift up the liberation of gender and sexuality, to advance anti-racist and anti-fascist strategies, to work against the advancement of rapacious capitalism, and to confront the rise of the Right in all of its forms. "Transformation" examines not just what happened but how it happened.

The book was edited by Christian Matheis, faculty in Community and Justice Studies at Guilford College. Christian specializes in scholarship and practices that bridge social and political philosophy, ethics, public policy, and direct-action organizing.
