Marronage is a collective of decolonial feminists, centring stories of resistance through editorial work, writing, events and protests. Marronage launched in 2016 to politicise the centennial marking the sale of the former Danish West Indian Islands. We work to expose the continued links between colonialism and state racism, while writing our own histories along traditions and struggles that are marginalised, oppressed and made invisible.
