『逃避都市：グレートディズマル湿地の奴隷制と小規模マルーン』
This book is a welcome addition to the growing historiography on American maroons, perhaps best exemplified by Sylviane A. Diouf's American Exiles (2014). Marcus P. Nevius concentrates on the Great Dismal Swamp, a tract of largely impenetrable wilderness on the border of Virginia and North Carolina. The region was a haven for fugitive slaves in the seventeenth century because it was both conveniently close to the plantations of the Virginia tidewater and almost impossible for white authorities to penetrate. Enduring maroon communities in the Americas needed locations such as this, and so the Great Dismal Swamp should be seen similarly to the "cockpit country" of Jamaica (five hundred square miles of hilly and dense terrain) and the jungles of Surinam.（引用元）
