Bacchanal!
Author: Peter Mason
Publisher: Temple University Press
ISBN: 9781566396639
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
For two days each year Trinidad's capital, Port of Spain, hosts 'the greatest show on earth' - a raucous mix of music, costume and revelry known as Carnival. The festival has become more or less synonymous with the Caribbean island and is an intrinsic part of its identity and popular culture. Making extensive use of interviews with artists and other participants, BACCHANAL! explores the place of Carnival in Trinidadian society and the people who take part in it: -- How the festival reflects and affects attitudes towards religion, language, humour, politics, male-female relations and folk traditions. -- The historical role of Carnival, its roots in colonial society and slavery, and its traditional function as an expression of subversion and revolt. -- The effect of contemporary social and cultural influences on the dynamic, evolving phenomenon of Carnival. -- The increasing involvement of Indo-Trinidadians and women, the competing musical forms of reggae and soca, and the impact of tourism and commercialism.

Book Description
First published in 1999 in this study the author uses the annual Latino Festival as a framework for focusing the action and integrating many important informal and formal aspects of the Washington D.C. Latino Community. She demonstrates how the festival became a stage where relationships were defined, networks established, and identity enacted, and provided my window into the history and development of the community. For this study, she was interested in an interpretative framework appropriate to festival which would reflect the multiple voices and points of view found within the community. Seeking the voices of leaders and community members in interviews and in Spanish- and English-language newspapers.
