Another World

An extraordinary, compelling, deeply discerning, and lovingly articulated debut by a promising writer on the realities of navigating today's cultural, political, ideological landscape with multiple marginalized identities. In this timely collection of essays, Maximillian Matthews interrogates Blackness, queerness, and systems of oppression. Serving as a combination of a memoir and cultural commentary, Matthews reflects on how institutions fail Black queer, trans, and gender non-conforming folks, particularly young adults. Through the revolutionary lens of abolition, Matthews contends with childhood, identity, sexuality, desirability, mental health, and more. Raw and introspective, Another World unpacks the infinite possibilities offered by abolition that include Matthews's own self-actualization. ​​Exploring their journey from internalized oppression to becoming a reflective voice in the twenty-first century struggle for freedom, Matthews writes with a compelling insistence for readers to build Another World.
