Marronnage, stemming from the slave period and system, generates many reflections and provokes various writings on the historical, sociology, anthropology, philosophical or literary level. It is a question of understanding the forms of resistance or flight of black African slaves in the Anglophone and Francophone Caribbean, their desire for emancipation or marginalization and the repercussions on our societies. Marronnage goes beyond the strict framework of slavery and highlights processes of identity construction, an aesthetic of the margin to free oneself from the yoke of servitude, colonization and all the elements that can be attached to it, such as dependencies, fear, alienation or acculturation. The evocation or reappropriation of the figure of brown and marronnage is a keystone to explore the foundations of consciousness, the spheres of the possible and the impossible. In the field of literature, the writer Patrick Chamoiseau, in his novel Un Dimanche au cachot, sees the possibility of using the "trace-memory", this space forgotten by history and memory, to plunge the reader into the colonial prison universe of a rebellious slave, L'Oubliée. His imagination will allow him to counter its monstrosity. Marronnage seems to evade any rigorous conceptualization and serve as a foundation for an interlacing of stories and worlds at the confluence of imagination and creativity. But is writing meaningful and liberating enough to allow colonized man to regain or access his humanity? Does the legacy of the brown negro really free the soul or does it keep it in an eternal flight, or even in a swampy or dark wood?
The imaginary and the maroon writing must remove man from any tortuous interlacing or any form of dungeon.
