| description | Richard Price and his wife Sally Price have lived with and studied Saramaka maroons, descendants of self-liberated African slaves, who live in the rainforest of the Republic of Suriname, for over 40 years. Price uses that long experience to add depth to a gripping account of how Saramakas resisted the government’s logging and mining concessions that threatened their livelihood and produced severe environmental damage. They had already experienced the destruction of many villages by a hydroelectric dam and reservoir project. |
