Edited by Barbara Mauldin.
Carnival takes similar shapes everywhere European Catholics carried their religion and its festivals. This book shows that indigenous customs with even deeper roots became integrated into the festival to give it distinctive local flavors. With more than 300 dazzling photographs, this book offers an international look at Carnival in New Orleans, Spain, Bulgaria, Venice, Switzerland, Mexico, Bolivia, Brazil, Trinidad and Haiti. Very informative and comprehensive, this book is a joyous celebration of this many-faceted festival and a tribute to those who have kept their Carnival traditions alive.
