New Orleans is practically synonymous with Mardi Gras. Both evoke
the parades, the beads, the costumes, the food--the pomp and
circumstance. The carnival krewes are the backbone of this Big Easy
tradition. Every year, different krewes put on extravagant parties
and celebrations to commemorate the beginning of the Lenten season.
Historic krewes like Comus, Rex and Zulu that date back generations
are intertwined with the greater history of New Orleans itself.
Today, new krewes are inaugurated and widen a once exclusive part
of New Orleans society. Through careful and detailed research of
over three hundred sources, including fifty interviews with members
of these organizations, author and New Orleans native Rosary
O'Neill explores this storied institution, its antebellum roots and
its effects in the twenty-first century.
