On the peripheries of empire, these freedom-seeking \"maroons\" established their own autonomous, ethnically diverse, and intimately democratic communities of resistance. In this new volume, Modibo Kadalie offers a critical reexamination of the history and historiography surrounding two sites of African maroonage: The Great Dismal Swamp in Virginia and North Carolina; and Fort Mose in Florida. In these communities of refuge, deep-rooted directly democratic social movements emanating from West Africa converged with those of indigenous North Americans. Kadalie's study of these sites offers a new lens of \"intimate direct democracy,\" through which readers are invited to re-examine their notions of human social history and the true meaning of democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePraise for \u003cem\u003eIntimate Direct Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Vital reading for anyone interested in the history of the Southeast... and an inspiration to all who envision a liberated future\" -\u003cstrong\u003eNatsu Taylor Saito, author of \u003cem\u003eSettler Colonialism, Race, and the Law\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Modibo Kadalie continues to give history new life and new perspective by raising questions about ecological crises both past and present\" -\u003cstrong\u003eWilliam C.

Including radical voices from India, Algeria, and Japan, the essays gathered here tie the rise of militarism and fascism to European, American, and Japanese imperialism.
