This episode is about Queen Nanny of the Maroons (c. 1686 – c. 1755). The Maroons were a group of formerly enslaved Africans, featuring in many Caribbean islands, forming separate communities and antagonising the colonisers on the island. They consistently resisted Spanish and then British colonialism and fought a guerrilla war over many years against British. Queen Nanny legacy is that of a military, spiritual and cultural leader.
