Anotations

Scope note:

Style and culture of a community or group of formerly enslaved Africans and Amerindian peoples and their descendants who fled, resisted, or rebelled against enslavement and found freedom in remote regions near where they had been forcibly relocated. Many of these groups have survived in the Caribbean and the Americas. Note that this community of people did not originally refer to themselves as “Maroon,” though some of their contemporary descendants have adopted the term, while others may consider it pejorative.
