Amazing collection of primary source material

This is an outstanding collection of primary source documents on maroons societies(groups of escaped slaves) throughout the Americas. Reads almost like a piece of fiction. Its a book that should be read cover to cover, not just used as a reference. Valuable book for anyone interested in resistance to slavery. Includes fine introduction. The societies covered in this book range from small bands to large powerful states that survived for generations.
