Maroon communities, or communities of descendants of fugitives from slavery, have been long-lasting examples of social movements pursuing political goals through the production and mobilization of space. They have been largely forgotten in academic analyses, however, which, in Latin America, are primarily focused on peasants and indigenous movements. Therefore, drawing on socioterritorial movements readings and maroon studies, this article analyzes how maroon-descendant communities have produced territory in both urban and rural spaces—including areas of forced displacement—locally and transnationally, to survive hegemonies deeply rooted in the legacy of slavery and to achieve political aims. These communities unsettle binary categories of rural and urban socioterritorial movements and monolithic visions of antistate struggle. This transterritorial, rural–urban appropriation of spaces resisting different powers follows the past logic of marronage to achieve freedom and security, re-creating in present times the political vision of historical maroon leaders regarding the construction of a grand Palenque in the Spanish-speaking Caribbean.

栗色社区，或奴隶逃犯后裔社区，一直是社会运动通过生产和动员空间来追求政治目标的长期例子。然而，在拉丁美洲，学术分析主要关注农民和土著运动，而这些分析在很大程度上被遗忘了。因此，本文利用对社会领土运动的解读和栗色研究，分析了栗色后裔社区如何在城市和农村空间——包括被迫流离失所的地区——在本地和跨国范围内生产领土，以在根深蒂固的奴隶制和达到政治目的。这些社区动摇了农村和城市社会领土运动的二元类别和反国家斗争的单一愿景。
