Amy Chua is an American writer and legal scholar best known for her books on globalisation, cultural dynamics, and parenting. Her work spans multiple genres, including nonfiction and historical mystery.
Amy Lynn Chua was born in Champaign, Illinois, in 1962 to Chinese-Filipino parents. Her father, Leon Chua, was a professor of electrical engineering, which prompted the family’s move to Berkeley, California, when Amy was eight years old.
She graduated from El Cerrito High School in 1980 before attending Harvard College, where she graduated magna cum laude in 1984. Amy earned her law degree from Harvard Law School in 1987, serving as executive editor of the Harvard Law Review.
After clerking for Chief Judge Patricia Wald on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, she practised law at Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton, specialising in international transactions.
Chua began teaching at Duke University Law School in 1994, earning tenure and recognition for her academic work. In 2001, she joined the faculty at Yale Law School, where she continues to teach as the John M. Duff Jr. Professor of Law. Her academic focus includes international law, ethnic conflict, and globalisation.
Her first book, World on Fire: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability (2003), explored the tensions caused by market-dominant minorities in global democracies. It was a New York Times bestseller and was named one of the best books of the year by The Economist. Her 2007 book, Day of Empire: How Hyperpowers Rise to Global Dominance—and Why They Fall, analysed the rise and fall of empires through the lens of minority tolerance.
Chua achieved international recognition in 2011 with her memoir, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. The book detailed her strict parenting methods, which were influenced by Confucian principles. It ignited a global debate about cultural attitudes toward parenting, becoming a bestseller and being translated into 30 languages.
In 2023, Chua published her debut novel, The Golden Gate, a historical mystery set in 1944 Berkeley, California. The story follows Detective Al Sullivan as he investigates the assassination of a presidential candidate at the Claremont Hotel, uncovering connections to a tragic incident involving the wealthy Bainbridge family a decade earlier.
The novel received critical acclaim for its intricate plot and historical setting. It was shortlisted for multiple awards, including the Mystery Writers of America Edgar Award for Best First Novel and the Crime Writers’ Association John Creasey Dagger.
