From Caribbean Islands to British Streets: The Story of Carnival

Carnival in Britain is more than feathers and basslines; it’s the heartbeat of resilience, resistance, and joy. In this episode of The Black Roots of British History, we trace Carnival’s journey from African masquerades to Caribbean traditions like Grenada’s Jab Jab and Trinidad’s Canboulay, and onto the streets of Britain with the Windrush generation. We explore: * The role of Claudia Jones, Sam King, Rhaune Laslett, and Leslie Palmer in shaping Notting Hill Carnival. * The growth of Carnivals in Leeds, Bristol, Manchester, Huddersfield, Luton, and beyond. * The challenges Carnivals face today from funding cuts and policing costs to political debates about safety. * Why comparing Carnival with Glastonbury reveals deep issues of race, class, and cultural value in Britain. * And what’s at stake if regional Carnivals vanish: the slow erasure of Caribbean culture, a “death by a thousand cuts.” Yet, Carnival endures. Each August Bank Holiday, millions take to the streets, proving that Carnival is not fading — it’s thriving. It’s freedom, culture, and survival, lived out loud.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
