This book is about the phenomenon proclaimed the Greatest Show on Earth - The Trinidad Carnival. Through 3 essays written between 1976 and 2006 by the Author, as part of a collective or as an individual which form part of his analysis of the history, development and future of the Trinidad Carnival.This analysis has developed out of his participation in various aspects of The Carnival at various stages of his life. The defence of The Trinidad Carnival demands that its history be understood and preserved. It demands that unique and indigenous qualities of the Kamboulay root of The Carnival must be preserved and given modern form and expression. The preservation of The Trinidad Carnival is part of the resistance to the indistinguishable culture that denies national character that is called 'world' culture or global culture that threatens national identity in the service of a world resembling the old order at the time of the Emancipation.
