Nanny of the Maroons was the first and foremost leader of the Windward Maroons of Jamaica, a community of self-emancipated formerly enslaved people. She was Queen, the mother of her people, the most brilliant strategist and guerilla general the British were ever going to encounter , not to mention a spiritual guide for her people. Nanny’s story is truly unique and it is one that deserves to be told, in the Island Archives.
