Description
"Escaping slavery in the Americas, maroons made miracles in the mountains, summoned new societies in the swamps, and forged new freedoms in the forests. They didn't just escape and steal from plantations--they also planted and harvested polycultures. They not only fought slavery but proved its opposite, and for generations they defended it, with blood and brilliance. [This book] is a fire on the mountain where maroon words and images meet to tell stories of escape and homecoming, exile and belonging"--Back cover.
