Engaging the past, the present, and the future, African Sovereigns
shows how the lived experience of Jamaican Maroons is linked to the
African Diaspora. In so doing, this interdisciplinary undertaking
interrogates the definition of Diaspora but mainly emphasizes the
term's use. Mario Nisbett demonstrates that an examination of
Jamaican Maroon communities, particularly their socio-political
development, can further highlight the significance of the African
Diaspora as an analytical tool. He shows how Jamaican Maroons
inform resistance to abjection, a denial of full humanity, through
claiming their African origin and developing solidarity and
consciousness in order to affirm black humanity. The book
establishes that present-day Jamaican Maroons remain relevant and
engage the African Diaspora to improve black standing and bolster
assertions of sovereignty.
