Description

On this detailed and brilliantly researched book the Dominican historian Lennox Honychurch tells the enthralling and untold story of ways the Maroons – escaped slaves – of the Caribbean island of Dominica challenged the colonial powers in a heroic struggle to create a free and self-enough society.

“The brave individuals who held out in Dominica’s mountain wilderness for generations in opposition to the army forces of 2 colonial empires have had their story smartly told ultimately. Their spirits can now be at rest,” writes Adam Hochschild, writer of Bury the Chains.
