From the author: In the first section, Wade Nobles' idea of conceptual incarceration, Kofi Addae's comfortable captivity and Louis Farrakhan's illusion of inclusion are identified as major pitfalls along the road to intellectual maroonage. In the second section, the Black scholar's embrace of Uhuru Hotep's intellectual disobedience, Addae's nyansa nnsa da and Maulana Karenga's liberational logic are seen as "landmarks" along way toward intellectual maroonage that are also "doorways" into advance states of Black awareness. The third section focuses on the training of intellectual maroons, which is informed by four seminal disciplines: reality confrontation, sankofa or reAfricanization, systematic enemy analysis, and social reproduction theory. The fourth and final section of this paper outlines the work of intellectual maroons, which revolves around launching a whm msw to restore Maat and terminating the maafa. In all fundamental ways, Jehewty's intellectual maroon is identical to Marcia Sutherland's "authentic struggler, Amos Wilson's "true nationalist", and Asa Hilliard's "Jegna."
