Negotiating Freedom in the Circum-Caribbean (eBook, ePUB)

The Jamaican Maroons and Creek Nation Compared

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

For the first time, Jamaican Maroons are compared with the Creek Nation to question how non-white, semi-autonomous groups were reduced by Anglophone colonists. Analysis includes interactions with settlers, slave-catching and ownership, land conflict and dispute resolution, to show how Maroons can be considered within an indigenous framework.
