Description

Carnival, that image of sensuous frivolity, is shown by Abner Cohen to be a masquerade for the dynamic relations between culture and politics. His masterful study details the transformation of a local, polyethic London fair to a massive, exclusively West Indian carnival, known as "Europe's bigger street festival", which in 1976 occasioned a bloody confrontation between black youth and the police and which has since become a fiercely contested cultural event.

Author Biography:

Abner Cohen is Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at the University of London. California published three of his earlier books: The Politics of Elite Culture (1981), Two-Dimensional Man (1974), and Custom and Politics in Urban Africa (1969).
