		Maroons are some of the most elusive people on earth and the truth about their historic past and contemporary relevance is just as elusive.
		It is the Maroons' love of peace that allowed them in many countries to accept treaties from the colonialists, that while recognizing their right to be free, also cut them off from the cooperative spy unit they had built among plantation slaves.
		In fact, they are the first transported people in the West to strike a blow for freedom and were among the first to explore and adapt to the interior of the Americas.

	Purple and Maroon Carrots
		Some people look at it and say that's one ugly carrot," says Leonard Pike,Ph.D. "But then other people think it's the most beautiful thing they've ever seen." Pike is referring to his latest creation: Maroon in colour, apple-like in texture and sugary in flavour, it's known as the Beta-Sweet carrot.
		The gene responsible for purple or maroon colour is a natural one that has been around for many years and, in fact, has been segregated out and discarded when it appeared in order to retain the traditional orange colour for carrots.
		Maroon carrots can be used in any carrot recipe, but if left raw, either shredded into a coleslaw or dipped into a garlic mayonnaise, the colours, flavour and texture really shine.

	Karla Gottlieb, The Mother of Us All, Chapter 1
		Maroon communities existed in communication with other Maroon settlements and were located in remote and mountainous areas where access was difficult and virtual invisibility possible.
		Some historians say that the Maroons were quieter during these periods, that they had retreated higher into the mountains to re-group, organize, and prepare; others claim that we simply have no record of the activity that happened during this period, but that there was action.
		They claim that Nanny, the historic and celebrated woman general of the former Maroons, who carried on a lot of weird practices and thus was able to escape from her enemies at all times, was buried on a certain hill in the village, near which the soil has never been tilled, nor homes erected.

	Jamaica's Hero- Nanny (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		She was known by both the Maroons and British settlers as an outstanding military leader who became, in her lifetime and after, a symbol of unity and strength for her people during times of crisis.
		Beside inspiring her people to ward off troops, Nanny was also the type of village wise woman who passed down legends that instilled confidence and pride in her people and encouraged the continuation of customs, music and songs that had been traditional in Africa.
		Although the Maroons were vastly outgunned and outnumbered repeatedly, often with hundreds of half-starving Maroons fighting against thousands of the best-provisioned and best-armed soldiers of the British Empire, the mountain guerrillas came away with victories time and time again.

	Chicago Maroon » Letter to the Editor
		This is exactly the case in the letter from the editor in the October 10 edition of the Maroon, which was a response to at least one letter about an insert in the October 6 issue.
		There is no doubt that the Maroon has in the past permitted the expression of a great variety of opinions.
		The arguments in the insert were not unsupported, illogical, or held by an insignificant number of people, but rather were soundly argued, rational opinions based on research and are representative of the opinions of a large population, even here at the University of Chicago.

	University Press of Florida: True-Born Maroons
		The descendants of African slaves who escaped from the Spanish and British plantations in Jamaica during the 17th and early 18th centuries, the Maroons battled for and maintained their autonomy during 70 years of guerrilla warfare with the British army that ended in a truce in 1739.
		Whereas almost all previous studies of the Jamaican Maroons have focused on the distant past, this one is as much about present-day Maroons as about their ancestors.
		Equally important is the story of the complex local and global politics into which the contemporary Maroons are increasingly drawn and the problematic ways in which the Maroons’ highly valued history has been appropriated, theorized, and commodified in postcolonial Jamaica and beyond, threatening to sever the Maroons from their own past.

	Queen Nanny Of The Maroons – The Mother Of A Nation (Jamaica)
		A few hours before morning approaches, we hear the tramp-tramp-tramp of fl British boots on Maroon soil – the British soldiers, in their bright red uniforms and big fl boots, with their loud laughter and disregard for their environment, are a stark contrast to the Maroon soldiers.
		Second, because she and her people established the first independent fl polity in the New World, she led the way for freedom struggles in Haiti, Brazil, the U.S., Guadelope, Surinam… - anywhere where there were enslaved Africans.
