First line
The first slave rebellions were contemporaneous with the beginning of the slave trade and the introduction of slavery into the Americas.
From the rear cover
Now in its third edition, Maroon Societies is a systematic study of the communities formed by escaped slaves in the Carribean, Latin America, and the United States. These societies ranged from small bands that survived less than a year to powerful states encompassing thousands of members and surviving for generations and even centuries. The volume includes eyewitness accounts written by escaped slaves and their pursuers, as well as modern historical and anthropological studies of the maroon experience. For this edition, Richard Price has written a new preface reflecting recent changes in both maroon scholarship and in the lives of contemporary maroons throughout the Americas.
