This book shows how Carnival under British colonial rule became a locus of resistance as well as an exercise and affirmation of power. Focusing specifically on the Maltese islands, a tiny European archipelago situated at the heart of the Mediterranean, this work links the contrast between play and power to other Carnival realities across the world.
