Listen "Episode 15: About Maroon Landscapes and communities (pt1)"
Episode Synopsis
In this first part of our conversation, Dr Diane Jones Allen shares with us
about Maroon landscapes; communities that were established by Black
communities who during the time of the middle passage during slavery,
jumped off ships and freed themselves by moving, hiding and stewarding the
swamps. These communities were said to have “marooned” themselves. Tune in
to hear the stories of maroon landscapes in symbiotic relationships with
black resiliency, coastal resiliency and black imagination through times of
slavery, colonization, and liberation. We also discussed the pedagogical
failure and opportunity in Landscape Architecture education.
