Fractal Repair
Queer Histories of Modern Jamaica Matthew Chin Chin interrogates queerness in Jamaica from early colonial occupation to the present, critically responding to Jamaica’s reputation for homophobia and anti-queer violence. He advances a theory and method of queer fractals to bring together genealogies of queer and Caribbean formation. Fractals—a kind of geometry in which patterns repeat but never exactly in the same way—make visible shifting accounts of Caribbean queerness in terms of race, gender, and sexual alterity.
