Evolution of the Latin American Carnival
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 April 2024
Extract
Carnival was brought to the New World by Spanish and Portuguese colonizers, and it has been preserved there up to our day, although in the meantime it has almost disappeared from the countries where it originated. One asks oneself if Carnival has kept its original characteristics over the years, or if it instead has been transformed, and if so, how. The ethnological and cultural variety present in Latin America leads us to think that there must have been an evolution over the years, and that Carnival should show some signs of acculturation. It is the examination of these two points that will be the subject of our study.
