In his groundbreaking book, Freedom As Marronage, Dr. Neil Roberts presents a powerful and transformative vision of freedom for Black people. Drawing inspiration from the history of Marronage—the practice of self-liberation by enslaved Africans who escaped to establish their own independent communities—Roberts argues that Marronage is not simply a historical phenomenon, but a timeless and ongoing struggle for Black liberation.

Roberts traces the history of Marronage from its origins in the transatlantic slave trade to its present-day manifestations in the fight against racial oppression. He shows how Marronage has been a central strategy for Black people to resist slavery, colonialism, and other forms of oppression. And he argues that Marronage is not just about physical escape, but also about creating new social, political, and economic structures that are free from white supremacy.

Freedom As Marronage is a radical and inspiring call for Black people to embrace their own power and to fight for a future free from oppression. Roberts offers a powerful vision of a world where Black people are free to define their own lives and to create a future that is worthy of their humanity.
