Examining the turn of the nineteenth century in “Trelawny Maroon Women and the Search for Autonomy,” Shavagne Scott demonstrates the complexities of migration through the lives of Trelawny Maroon women from Jamaica to Nova Scotia, to Sierra Leone. Applying a gendered lens, she situates the Trelawny Maroon women within diasporic migratory histories of freedom. Studying the period approximately forty years later, Briana Adline Royster studies emigration to British Guiana through a lens of separation. Through personal correspondence, “’He Could Not Stay Away from Her Any Longer:’ Nineteenth Century African American Emigration and Separation of Kin” offers an intimate look at how love and loneliness complicated the lives of emigrants. At the same period, in “The Search Continues: A Preliminary Study of West Indians in California’s Bay Area, 1841-1916,” J. Marlena Edwards expands Bay Area social and ethnic history through an examination of West Indian community institutions, mutual aid, and social organizing strategies. Edwards’s work extends the geographies of nineteenth century Caribbean migration history to the American West.
