Donate via PayPal →“The Maroon tradition was sustained by communities that valued the work enough to support it — in the mountains, in the forests, in every place where free people gathered to maintain what colonialism tried to destroy. This archive is built on that tradition. Your support is the modern expression of that ancient practice.”
Maroon Histories — Wayne RobertsFrequently Asked Questions
What do I get with a Subscriber membership?
Full access to all paid articles across every series — including the 8 paid chapters of The Strawman Doctrine, all future series in full, downloadable PDFs, the discussion community, and early access to new content as it publishes. You also support the development of the Maroon Histories mobile application coming in 2026-2027.
What is the difference between Subscriber and Premium?
The Premium Research tier adds access to the Primary Source Library — full annotated texts of foundational documents like the Cestui Que Vie Act of 1666, HJR-192, the Maroon Treaties of 1739/1740/1762, and curated extracts from Black’s Law Dictionary. Premium subscribers also get a monthly live Q&A with Wayne and early access to the mobile app beta.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Your subscription can be canceled at any time. There are no long-term commitments. If you cancel, you retain access through the end of your current billing period.
Why do you offer so much for free?
Because the work is too important to gate entirely. The Architecture of Control series and We Were Already Here are foundational scholarship that everyone in the African diaspora and the Indigenous Americas deserves access to. The paid tiers fund the deeper specialized work — the legal analysis, the primary source curation, the app development — while keeping the core history available to all.
How is my contribution used?
Directly into the work. Research time. Writing time. Primary source acquisition. Publication infrastructure. Development of the Maroon Histories mobile application. Future series planning. Every dollar funds the continuation of the archive.
When will the mobile app launch?
The Maroon Histories application is in active development. Every article being published now is being structured to function as content for the app — semantic markup, audio-ready paragraph segmentation, citation database hooks, cross-reference architecture. Target launch is 2026-2027. Premium subscribers get early beta access when it goes live.
What about people in Jamaica and the Caribbean who cannot afford USD subscriptions?
The free tier is for you. The Architecture of Control series, We Were Already Here, and the Introduction and Part I of The Strawman Doctrine are completely free with no subscription required. The work is for the diaspora. The money is for the work. Where they don’t intersect — the work is yours regardless.
