Author Description

Guilford College 1974-2020: Sort of a Memoir, in Two Parts combines two previously published works into one useful volume that explores various aspects of life in a small Quaker-affiliated liberal arts college in the south. Professor Richie Zweigenhaft looks closely at the relationships between Jews, Palestinians, and Quakers on campus--especially as these relationships transform over the decades of this memoir. Remarkably, Zweigenhaft also started what might be the oldest continuously running pickup basketball game in the country at Guilford College. This half of the memoir offers sly wisdom on how to keep a community of disparate individuals together. Remember: friendship first. Together as one volume, Guilford College 1974-2020 is a first-hand observation of community as it shatters, reforms, and perseveres.
