Overview
Maroon Nation reframes post-independence Haitian history by arguing that the Haitian Revolution did not end in 1804 — it continued for another four decades as a protracted conflict between the new Haitian state and the laboring population over land and the plantation economy. Gonzalez's central thesis is that the Haitian peasantry constituted a "maroon nation": a population that, in direct continuity with the runaway slave tradition of colonial Saint-Domingue, persistently fled forced labor, squatted on mountain land, built unauthorized communities, and evaded state control.
