A collection of articles reflecting on the colour, spectacle and tradition of Carnival in Britain. From the largest street festival in Europe - the Notting Hill Carnival, to the smaller but no less lively events in Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds among many others. Like Carnival, the book has the feel and expression of community life and is an invaluable contribution to these often misunderstood arts events.
