Beschreibung

"Demonstrating that marronage is a cultural tradition throughout the African Diaspora, Amari Johnson focuses on the transtemporal maroon process to show how it is central to the pursuit of autonomy, community, and freedom. Taking the BlackStar Community in the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans as a case study, this dynamic ethnographic memoir offers strategies for similar communities across the country and around the world"-- Provided by publisher.
