As Mason demonstrates, carnival brings together nearly all aspects of Trinidad's cultural identity -- religion, music, language, humor, folk traditions, politics, gender roles, ethnic traditions, even food and sport. It also has an influence, outside the country, on how people view the island as an export in itself. Mason weaves all these facets of carnival together to create a vibrant sense of the phenomenon itself -- its wit and its vulgarity, its sumptuous colors and heart-pounding noise, its competitiveness and spontaneity, the months of hard work to produce two days of exuberant self-abandonment -- all the complex energies that lead to /u0022Bacchanal!/u0022
Peter Mason, a freelance journalist and writer, has written widely in the Guardian, Independent, and Observer newspapers in London. He is a regular visitor to Trinidad an d is currently at the University of the West Indies, Jamaica.
