How to Lose the Hounds
Maroon Geographies and a World
beyond Policing
Celeste Winston
“Through Celeste Winston’s examination of early Black communities from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as well as her study of late modern Black communities in the twentieth century, we learn vital lessons about the value of marronage for our understandings of slavery, resistance, liberation, freedom, race, capitalism, and geography. Imagining Black futures beyond slavery and a world without the police, Winston offers a wonderful treatise that will reverberate throughout geography, Black studies, American studies, history, political theory, and decolonial politics. How to Lose the Hounds is an absolutely marvelous book and a magnificent achievement!”—Neil Roberts, author of Freedom as Marronage
