Description

Transcripts from trials held in 1813 and 1814 reveal the story of the Maroons of Dominica and their allies during the Second Maroon War. This book uses these records to explain how the Maroons resisted slave society, including details about their survival in the forests and their relationship with enslaved people on plantations.

It also examines the role of the British governor who successfully suppressed the Maroons and how the Colonial Office in London responded to his actions. By reading the evidence, you can hear the voices of those who fought against oppression and understand the complexities of this period in history.
