Amanda Choo Quan

Amanda Choo Quan's writing charts the future of social justice movements — while acknowledging their genesis in the Caribbean. Her preferred subtopics are displacement, migration, cruelty, and examining the ways white supremacy has successfully divided Black and Brown populations. She is curious about reparations meaning far more than money, and wonders what a Black transnational state could look like. She is interested in uncovering the ways the United States helped to transform the English-speaking Caribbean from socialist intellectual hotbed into tourist backyard. Her most recent work focuses on telling the stories of Maroons in the Caribbean and their present fight for Indigenous recognition. She is interested in Marronage as a philosophy to counter the flimsiness of this political moment.
