Abstract

This paper discusses the attempts by peoples of Caribbean origin resident in Toronto, Canada, to use a version of the transplanted Trinidad Carnival as a mechanism for creating an ethnic identity in a multicultural metropolitan society. The contesting claims to the “ownership” of this cultural product forms the backdrop against which a younger generation of Canadian-born children of Caribbean immigrants also work out their own relationship to Canadian society.
