Abstract: general (displayLabel="Scope and Contents note")
Standing resolutely forward, the muscular figure of a shirtless self-emancipated man ('neg mawon'), with broken shackles and chains around his wrists and neck, holds a conch shell to his lips. The bronze figure, located in the center of a traffic circle, celebrates the self-emancipated (maroon) societies that engaged in a sustained struggle against slavery and French colonialism. The work was unveiled during Dominica’s 2013 Emancipation Celebrations.
