Marronnage in Saint-Domingue (Haïti) http

Launched by the French Atlantic History Group some ten years ago, under the direction of Jean-Paul Le Glaunec and Léon Robichaud, the website Marronnage in Saint-Domingue (Haïti) is devoted to the study of fugitive slaves in the eighteenth-century Caribbean’s most important colony. (Derived from the Spanish cimarronaje, the spellings marronnage and marronage are used in French; “marronage” and “maroonage” are used in English. The term covers the identity and activities of runaway slaves.) In the last year, the site has been undergoing major expansion. At the time of writing (and of publication), the project remains incomplete and several parts of site have become inaccessible. What follows, therefore, is a slightly anachronistic review of a work in progress. (Those with a proficiency in French may have better luck visiting the French-language side of the site, which has increased accessibility at time of publication.)
