Abstract

This article synthesizes contributions of a growing body of geographic scholarship on marronage and presents a framework of maroon geographies to guide scholarship and political organizing centered on Black place- making and racial justice. I situate marronage-focused geographic scholarship within Black geographies literature that highlights the reverberations of transatlantic slavery in our current world order and historical and ongoing Black spatial acts of struggle and survival. Based on this scholarship and my own empirical research in Montgomery County, Maryland, I construct a framework of maroon geographies that encompasses physical sites of past flight from slavery as well as spaces produced through contemporary Black struggles. This framework comprises four main features: reworking geographic refuse, Black cooperative place- making, fugitive infrastructure, and a spatial strategy of entanglement. Maroon geographies offer a framework to explicitly address legacies of Black spatial epistemologies and practices that made possible freedom from slavery and that continue to shape sites of radical transformation and possibility. I conclude with a discussion of how the framework can inform scholarship and Black organizing.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
