Abstract

This chapter seeks to explore recent literature on marronage in the Great Caribbean, understood as a sociohistorical cultural space constituted by the experience of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, racial capitalism, and anti-Blackness. The chapter is divided into two parts. The first part discusses recent monographs which explore marronage from a historiographical perspective in the Caribbean, Brazil, and the US South. The second part focuses on recent politico-philosophical projects which seek to push conceptions of marronage beyond historicist and juridical frameworks by drawing on Africana existential phenomenology and Latin American liberation philosophy to grapple with the ways in which marronage manifests itself as diverse contemporary struggles in the context of racial capitalism.
