Mardi Gras Indians explores how sacred and secular expressions of
Carnival throughout the African diaspora came together in a
gumbo-sized melting pot to birth one of the most unique traditions
celebrating African culture, Indigenous peoples, and Black
Americans. Williams ties together the fragments of the ancient
traditions with the expressed experiences of the contemporary. From
the sangamentos of the Kongolese and the calumets of the various
tribes of the lower Mississippi River valley to one-on-one
interviews with today's Black masking tribe members, this book
highlights the spirit of resistance and rebellion upon which this
culture was built.
