Reviews
Along with a wealth of detail, the author offers an illuminating interpretation that avoids extremes of judgment and provides a fresh perspective on an important topic. This book will be a 'must-read' for all who teach the history of slavery in the Americas and the study of the African diaspora.

Synopsis
African slavery in the Americas has left indelible marks on the geographical, political, economic, social and cultural landscapes of the Americas. An important part of that indelibility is marronage that involved both flight from slavery and the establishment of free communities. This book is about the struggles of enslaved Africans in the Americas who achieved freedom through flight and the establishment of Maroon communities in the face of overwhelming military odds on the part of the slaveholders. Incontestably, Maroon communities constituted the first independent polities from European colonial rule in the hemisphere, even if the colonial states did not accord them legal recognition., African slavery in the Americas has left indelible marks on thegeographical, political, economic, social and cultural landscapes of theAmericas.
