Now in its third edition, Maroon Societies is a systematic study of the communities formed by escaped slaves in the Carribean, Latin America, and the United States.

For this edition, Richard Price has written a new preface reflecting recent changes in both maroon scholarship and in the lives of contemporary maroons throughout the Americas.
