I'm Jerrilyn McGregory an English professor living in Florida. My previous research introduced a little known region of the South, Wiregrass Country, and now I introduce you to a British holiday-- Boxing Day--as celebrated in the Caribbean.
For many, December 26 is more than the day after Christmas. Boxing Day is one of the world’s most celebrated cultural holidays. Unlike Trinidadian Carnival and Mardi Gras, fewer know of Bermuda’s Gombey Dancers, Bahamian Junkanoo, Dangriga’s Jankunú and Charikanari, St. Croix’s Christmas Carnival Festival, and St. Kitts’s Sugar Mas.
