Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Jamaican Maroon Communities and conversations with Maroon historians and ritual specialists spanning more than two decades, True-Born Maroons offers an unprecedented view of how contemporary Maroons think about and experience their past. By providing a unique view of a culture that has been nurtured by enslaved Africans and their descendants to survive against tremendous odds for nearly 350 years, the story of what it means to be a Maroon is conveyed through the words of the Maroons themselves.
