Brief History of Caribbean Carnival Celebrations from Trinidad to Nottinghill
A brief history of Carnival celebrations from colonization to the modern day. How did carnival originate in the Caribbean and spread across the world? Get to know some of the carnival traditions like Jouvert or Dirty Mas and get to know more about the traditional masquerade characters. This episode will also connect the original carnival celebrations to the 'pretty mas' celebrations today and discuss the role of the Caribbean diaspora in making carnival an international event.
As usual, I'll address some controversial questions: - Why do some people dress like Native Americans for carnival? - Is participating in carnival cultural appropriation? - Who invented carnival? - Who brought carnival around the world? - Has carnival been ruined by commercialization?
