It is based on the traditional knowledge of collaborating Maroon herbalists who have been cultural practitioners for more than 25 years. This guide includes photos and illustrations of 47 common species along with plant descriptions, medicinal uses and other pertinent information. Most of the plants are widespread species that may be found throughout many parts of the tropics, so this book ia useful throughout the Caribbean region and other tropical landscapes. It is hoped that this research can serve as a foundation for further documentation and preservation of Maroon traditional botanical knowledge. Proceeds from the sale of this publication will go directly to the collaborating herbalists to assist them in the perpetuation of the traditional cultural practices of the Windward Maroons.
