Higglering is a Jamaican term that denotes the informal economic activity of small-scale street vending dating back to the days of slavery, and is dominated by black, lower class Jamaican women. Higglering is generally perceived as a low status, illegitimate or illegal occupation among many Jamaicans, and higglers have been constructed as deviants in the public imagination.
