狂欢节的意义
今天的狂欢节是一种国际性的、多元文化的节日。但是它是怎么变成这样的呢?为了了解狂欢节的全部意义所在,我们需要看一看美国的历史以及两种文化的混合——欧洲和非洲的文化。
欧洲人来到了美洲,开辟了栽种棉花、水果和蔬菜的大农场和大种植园,这意味着急需干活的人手。这标志着奴隶贸易的开始。200多年以来,直到19世纪初期,奴隶贸易最终被禁止,数百万人被迫离开非洲老家,被运送到新大陆做奴隶。600万人被带到加勒比海的岛屿去,那里有英国和法国的地主。
当然,欧洲人也带去了他们的节日。所以当奴隶主用食物、饮料、戴面具的舞蹈来庆祝狂欢节时,奴隶们也被迫观看。在特立尼达岛,奴隶们开始拥有他们自己的狂欢节庆祝活动:他们把脸涂成白色,模仿他们的主人并且取笑他们。但是同时他们一直保留着他们非洲自己的传统,例如戴着面具边绕村庄走边唱歌——一种他们认为会带来好运的传统。
当奴隶贸易在1838年被废除时,原先的奴隶们把狂欢节保留了下来。它比以前更加丰富多彩和令人兴奋。人们制作了华丽的服装,也创立了乐队。狂欢节成为了对自由的庆祝。
随着时间的推移,岛上的白人居民也开始加入到狂欢节中——他们受到了先前的奴隶的欢迎。狂欢节成为团结不同人群的一种办法,因为人们忘记了他们平时的种种问题,而在吃、喝、跳舞中享受着欢乐。今天,来自世界各地的游客来到加勒比海的这个小州体验快乐。狂欢节本身成为一种对生活的庆祝。
