The Maroons (escaped slaves) of Jamaica are famous. Not so the Maroons of another Caribbean island Dominica, also a former British colony. Dominicas Maroons once controlled much of this wild and mountainous island but few details of their story of resistance and ultimate defeat have been known until now. Written by Dominicas leading historian, In the Forests of Freedom is a stirring account of how a displaced and enslaved people challenged the British empire in their struggle to create a free and selfsufficient society. From the Africans who took refuge on the island in the 16th century, through the two brutal Maroon Wars in the last decades of slavery, to the building of a postemancipation nation, In the Forests of Freedom takes the reader deep into the hinterland of the Dominica story.
