All on a Mardi Gras Day: Episodes in the History of New Orleans Carnival
Reid Mitchell
Mitchell takes us to Mardi Gras, the yearly ritual that sweeps the richly multicultural city of New Orleans into a frenzy of parades, pageantry, dance, drunkenness, music, sexual display, and social and political bombast. He tells us some of the most intriguing stories of Carnival since 1804 and he examines the meaning and messages of Mardi Gras.
