Chevy Eugene is the Caribbean ambassador for the Pan-African Council (PAC). He leads a collective of entrepreneurs, business leaders, cultural ambassadors, government actors, academics and activists from the Anglophone, Francophone, Spanish and Dutch Caribbean in advancing the Caribbean across sectors.
PAC is the premier, action-oriented global leadership organization for visionary Pan-Africanists dedicated to uniting Africa and her Diaspora while fostering cooperation in the political, economic, and social spheres.
Currently, he is completing a Social Science Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) funded PhD entitled “Decolonizing the Caribbean Community’s Reparations Campaign” in the Social and Political Thought Program (SPTH) at York University, Canada.
Chevy’s research takes up the historical struggles for reparations by conceptualizing it as a liberation praxis for conquest, enslavement, colonialism, and neocolonialism in new worldmaking, in the Caribbean context.
It proposes a decolonial reparations framework that seeks to delink demands for reparations from neoliberal epistemologies and mechanisms that perpetuate the continuation of neocolonial governmentalities in the Caribbean.
His research explores the role of the arts and social movements in the politicization and mobilization of civil society in the Caribbean and its diasporas on the issue of reparatory justice.
He is also a Lecturer in the Black and African Diaspora Studies (BAFD) Program. Chevy holds a Bachelor of the Arts (BA) with honour’s degree in International Development Studies (IDS) focused on the Caribbean, Latin America, and Africa. He completed a Master of the Arts (MA) degree in Humanities, centered on social movements, political economy, and arts and culture.
Well done!!
