In All on a Mardi Gras Day Mitchell tells us some of the most intriguing stories of Carnival since 1804. Woven into his narrative are observations of the meaning and messages of Mardi Gras--themes of unity, exclusion, and elitism course through these tales as they do through the Crescent City. Moving through the decades, Mitchell describes the city's diverse cultures coming together to compete in Carnival performances. We observe powerful social clubs, or krewes, designing their elaborate parade displays and extravagant parties; Creoles and Americans in conflict over whose dances belong in the ballroom; enslaved Africans and African Americans preserving a sense of their heritage in processions and dances; white supremacists battling Reconstruction; working-class blacks creating the flamboyant Krewe of Zulu; the birth and reign of jazz; the gay community holding lavish balls; and of course tourists purchasing an authentic experience according to the dictates of our commercial culture. Interracial friction, nativism, Jim Crow separatism, the hippie movement--Mitchell illuminates the expression of these and other American themes in events ranging from the 1901 formation of the anti-prohibitionist Carrie Nation Club to the controversial 1991 ordinance desegregating Carnival parade krewes. Through the conflicts, Mitchell asserts, "I see in Mardi Gras much what I hear in a really good jazz band: a model for the just society, the joyous community, the heavenly city...A model for community where individual expression is the basis for social harmony and where continuity is the basis for creativity." All on a Mardi Gras Day journeys into a world where hope persists for a rare balance between diversity and unity. 606 $aCarnival$zLouisiana$zNew Orleans$xHistory 607 $aNew Orleans (La.)$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCarnival$xHistory. 676 $a394.250976335 700 $aMitchell$b Reid$0283366 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454666903321 996 $aAll on a Mardi Gras day$92031905 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02582nam 2200601Ia 450 001 9910783215003321 005 20230617033824.0 010 $a1-280-50897-3 010 $a9786610508976 010 $a1-84544-317-9 035 $a(CKB)1000000000032698 035 $a(EBL)233915 035 $a(OCoLC)191038917 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000603460 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11382657 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000603460 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10573590 035 $a(PQKB)11770565 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC233915 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL233915 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10085666 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL50897 035 $a(OCoLC)133161725 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000032698 100 $a20000815d2005 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aGenres of digital documents$b[electronic resource] /$fguest editors: Barbara H.

Greek philosophers and orators recognized that the content of the message is not always its most important aspect; rather, the delivery, the context, and the rhetorical structure all play complementary roles in the subtle but profound act of one human being transferring information to another and thereby creating meaning from that transfer. 606 $aInformation technology 606 $aManagement information systems 615 0$aInformation technology. 615 0$aManagement information systems. 676 $a004.068 676 $a004.0683 701 $aCrowston$b Kevin$01468563 701 $aKwasnik$b Barbara H$g(Barbara Hanna)$01468564 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783215003321 996 $aGenres of digital documents$93679844 997 $aUNINA
