Having historicized the pertinent multi-sites and their initial Boxing Day connections, this chapter theorizes them as soundscapes, a trope that signified sheer noise, disorder, and wantonness to their oppressors. Within the frame of cultural imperialism, the Western hegemon meant for its erasure; but as a strategic act, those already dispossessed exploited this bias into a subversive remedy. In the maintenance of their own aesthetic judgment, this understanding emboldened and conferred on the enslaved another means of cultural resistance. With the present addition of earsplitting waves of soca music issuing from the gigantic speakers on flatbed trucks create a hi-fi environment, soundscapes rife with postmodern one grand noise.

The festal art forms of The Bahamas and Belize have procured a confluence of variegated spellings. This chapter charts the Bahamian Junkanoo tradition’s autonomous rise from the early “grotesque” masqueraders’ appearances on Christmas Day in cheap materials such as crocus sacks and banana leaves to its present-day morphing into a “breathtaking art” for Boxing Day. In Belize, its Jankunú principally unfolds in Dangriga, the home and the cultural center of the Garifuna (or Garinagu) people. Christmas Day boasts its wanáragua processions with Boxing Day traditionally preserved for Charikanari with more spontaneous appearances embracing a festive art form dependent on crossdressing males.

Chapter 4 situates J’ouvert (pronounced joo-vay) with Carnival in Trinidad. In that country, J’ouvert inaugurates the Lenten season as Carnival, a rite of spring. St. Kitts and St. Croix have their own long-standing masquerade and Christmas holiday traditions although celebrants now appropriate much of the festival culture of their island neighbor, including the celebratory name for their Boxing Day–related Carnival, J’ouvert. Located in the eastern Caribbean, these island chains may offer the most interesting and paradoxical cultural and historical connections. For instance, St. Croix is one of the US Virgin Islands; and while not unusual for Caribbean islands, over the centuries, six nations have ruled it. In addition, locals identify St. Kitts as Ground Zero because, initially named St. Christopher by Christopher Columbus, it bears the weight of the site from which chattel slavery spread. On both Lesser Antilles isles, Boxing Day morning’s J’ouvert personifies Caribbean transcultural globalization.

The creolized expression, “back o’ town,” pinpoints the locales customarily allocated to the workforce, generally within proximity of the rich landowners and merchants. Highlighting temporality, as well, chapter seven reveals unresolved political tensions, centering Boxing Day as the vehicle for transgressive release. The parade and procession routes speak multivocally about the symbolic reclamation of seats of power. As a theater of the street, movement from “back o’ town” through the center of commerce functions as a reenactment of persistence and resistance along with a sense of triumph over relentless obstruction. Each Boxing Day site offers its own particularized temporal and spatial dynamic. While not exactly waging political or class warfare, the masses contest colonial discourse by strategically creating time and space for a subaltern group of people to challenge the hegemony through the exercise of antithetical power.
“back o ' town”这种克里奥尔化的表达，指的是通常分配给劳动力的地方，通常是在富裕的地主和商人附近。第七章也强调了时间性，揭示了未解决的政治紧张局势，以节礼日为中心，作为释放违法行为的工具。游行和游行路线以多种方式表达了对权力席位的象征性回收。作为街头的剧场，从“back o ' town”穿过商业中心的运动再现了坚持和抵抗，以及对无情阻碍的胜利感。每个节礼日网站都有自己独特的时间和空间动态。虽然没有进行政治或阶级斗争，但群众通过战略性地为下层人民群体创造时间和空间，通过行使对立的权力来挑战霸权，从而争夺殖民话语。
