Jab Jab — from the French *diable* — is the island's rawest Carnival tradition: bodies blackened with used engine oil, chains carried deliberately, a direct and unsubtle reference to slavery.

Diaspora meets diaspora
AfricAsia began with Africans in Asia. The same story runs through every entry in this section — people of African descent building a life a long way from where their ancestors started.
If you are from Grenada and you are anywhere in Asia — studying, working, playing, passing through — there are people here who will know what you are asking before you finish the question.
