Many Black Nova Scotians proudly claim ancestry from the Jamaican
Maroons exiled to these shores in the last decade of the 18th
century: this book recounts the fascinating story of their
migrations.
Scholar and teacher John Grant chronicles the Maroons' struggle to
maintain their proud and independent culture in the harsh
conditions of Nova Scotia, and traces their contributions to the
development of colonial society. He describes attempts to establish
Maroon communities, attempts thwarted by racial and cultural
tensions, hostility and indifference. He brings together the
elements that show how many Maroons finally arranged for passage to
Sierra Leone, leaving Nova Scotia's hard shores behind them.
This lively and well-documented text illuminates an important
passage in African-Canadian history, combining historical records
and modern research to present a substantial portrait of the times,
the people and the events that comprise the Maroons' saga in Nova
Scotia.
