Evasion Ecology in the Contact Era
On the Gulf of Guinea island of São Tomé and the Caribbean island of Ayiti/Hispaniola at the turn of the sixteenth century, African and Indigenous fugitives from enslavement and dispossession, known as maroons, confronted profound social turmoil and environmental volatility.

Maroons in the Montes
Politics of the Hinterland
In standard treatments of the political economy of port cities, ports are seen to play key roles as centers of mediation between hinterlands and the maritime sphere. This article lends nuance to this framework through a case study of Terceira Island in the Azores and the ways in which merchants, city officials, and Catholic confraternity members in the latter sixteenth century attempted to regulate the harvesting and commerce of birds across the …
