Description

In Fractal Repair, Matthew Chin interrogates queerness in Jamaica from early colonial occupation to the present, critically responding to the island's reputation for homophobia and anti-queer violence. Chin advances a framework of queer fractals to bring together theories of queer formation and Caribbean subjectivity. Fractals-as a kind of repeating pattern in which each new iteration is just slightly different from the one before-make visible shifting accounts of Caribbean queerness in terms of race, gender, and sexual alterity. Drawing on this framework, Chin engages archives ranging from mid-twentieth-century social sciences of the Caribbean to Jamaica's National Dance Theatre Company to HIV/AIDS organizations to write reparative historical accounts of queerness in Jamaica. Ultimately, Chin proposes a fractal politics of reparations invested in the difference of repetition that extends existing discourses of overcoming the past and calculating economic compensation for survivors of violence.
