Oxford University Press apologizes for maroon gaffe

Radiojamaica.com "Jamaica has received a letter of apology from the Oxford University Press in relation to the meaning and definition posted in the Concise Oxford Dictionary for the word 'Maroon'.

Transport and Works Minister Mike Henry says the apology letter was forwarded to him in a response to a letter he had written to the Oxford University Press on the subject of the Maroons.

'There was no mention of the Jamaican Maroons defeating the British in two wars, there was no mention of Nanny our National Hero', noted Mr. Henry who is also a Historian and Publisher."
