I've lost track of the original post, but I haven't seen the following
references about the CBN yet:
 
Thomas, J. Paul
1984  "The Caribs of St. Vincent"  A Study in Imperial Maladministration,
1763-73" _Journal of Caribbean History_ 18(2):60-73.
 
Hall, N.A.T.
1985  "Maritime Maroons:  Grand Marronage from the Danish West Indies"
_William and Mary Quarterly_ XLII:476-497.
 
Craton, Michael
1982  _Testing the Chains:  Resistance to Slavery in the British West
Indies_ Cornell University Press, Ithaca, NY.
 
More or less contemporary sources include:
 
Dallas, R.C.
1803  _The History of the Maroons_ A. Strahan, London.
 
Young, Sir William
1795 (1971)  _An Account of the Black Charaibs in the Island of St.
Vincent's_  Frank Cass and Company Ltd. London.
 
Aside from Kofi Agorsah's work, I'm not aware of any archaeological
excavation at maroon-occupied sites, but I'm pretty sure someone has
started looking at some in northern South America (Venezuela, the Guianas).
If you're interested in North America and use a definition of maroon
focusing on economics and "race" rather than slavery (any responses to
this?), you might look at Kenneth Feder's _A Village of Outcasts_ and
various stuff on Parting Ways and Black Lucy's Garden.  If nothing else,
these should provide some interesting comparative data.
 
Hope you'll summarize your responses to the list....
