Comparing eighteenth-century southeastern Indigenous and European colonial maps with Marrant’s narrative mapping reveals Marrant’s navigation of the same spaces and networks of relation that were coming under colonial management. As a “go-between,” Marrant negotiates Cherokee and other Indigenous nations’ relations, as well as furnishes a rare glimpse into Black and Indigenous relations. Marrant’s Narrative reconnects to a legacy of Cherokee and British negotiations in addition to Black loyalist networks. Through his narrative mapping, Marrant performs as a cartographer and mediator between the Cherokee and the British to forge a new path, a “continuing city,” to maintain his freedom. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Eighteenth Century Fiction is the property of University of Toronto Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
