Publisher's Synopsis

Combining archaeological and historical methods, this is an account of the runaway slaves settlements (""palenques"") that formed in the inaccessible mountain chains of eastern Cuba from 1737 to 1850. The author demonstrates how romanticized the communities have become in historical memory.
