Unveiling the Maroon Movements: A Dive into Caribbean Resistance

Welcome to the Dis A fi mi History podcast, where we explore intriguing facets of history and its impact on Caribbean cultures. In this episode, Wendy Aris chats with Dr. Crystal Nicole Eddins, a distinguished Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Pittsburgh, to delve into the Maroon movements' significant role in resisting imperial forces.

Dr. Eddins shares insights from her research on the Haitian Revolution, focusing on the Maroons' resistance against European colonizers and their crucial influence in shaping Caribbean history. She discusses the cycles of resistance and cultural resilience witnessed in Haiti and other parts of the Caribbean, emphasizing the complexities of Maroon communities and their alliances with enslaved individuals and free Black communities.

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the Maroons' legacy and their enduring lessons in advocating for freedom and equality.                                                                                                                                                                                Author of Rituals, Runaways, and the Haitian Revolution: Collective Action in the African Diaspora.  Dr. Eddins is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Pittsburgh, after a previous position in Africana Studies at UNC Charlotte, a post-doctoral fellowship at Brown University's Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice, and earning a Dual Major PhD in African American & African Studies and Sociology from Michigan State University.
