Abstract

This essay surveys the scholarship of marronage , the most pervasive form of fugitive slave community formation, resistance, negotiation, and enslaver accommodation in the history of the Atlantic world. It begins with a brief survey of the subject's historiographic roots, with particular emphasis on its foundational definition as slave resistance and rebellion; on scholarly debates of the grand/petit marronage binary; and on the validity and definitions of maroon identity, forged by processes of ethnogenesis and grounded in maroon communities, past and present. The essay then centers on recent histories of marronage in the Caribbean, the Global South, and in early North America. In doing so, it seeks to draw out explicit thematic connections otherwise implicit in new maroon studies. The essay closes with a brief mention of forthcoming works that, informed by extant maroon studies, examine the challenges contemporary maroon communities face and that signal present‐day maroon descended communities' contributions to an increasingly globalizing world.

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.
