Book Synopsis True-born Maroons by : Kenneth M. Bilby
Book excerpt: In numerous visits to the island over 25 years, Kenneth Bilby gained the confidence of the Maroon elders, who revealed to him secret details of their ancestral heritage - including history, music, Kromanti religion, language, and culture - for publication. 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.
