Produktbeschreibung
"A fascinating study of Bras-Coupé, the legendary, powerful, and defiant runaway slave who inspired novels, an opera, ethnology, musicology, newspaper stories and a Hollywood movie."--Gwendolyn Midlo Hall, author of Africans in Colonial Louisiana: The Development of Afro-Creole Culture in the Eighteenth-Century "American maroons have too often been ignored, but in this well-researched book Bryan Wagner deftly shows the significance of the multifaceted tales--in a surprising variety of genres--that have turned Bras-Coupé's rather conventional maroon life into an unexpected international legend as a hero or a villain. Wagner makes a stimulating contribution to our understanding of how and why these myths and tales developed and what purpose they served."--Sylviane A. Diouf, author of Slavery's Exiles: The Story of the American Maroons
