This conference aims to investigate, celebrate, and discuss marronage across the Caribbean and Latin America with an emphasis on maroon communities’ relationship to their environment amidst climate change and environmental inequities and injustice. It also investigates maroon heritage and how maroon communities keep memories and legacies alive through agricultural and aesthetic practices including rice cultivation as well as carving and other arts.
