Elizabeth Nunez: As a Girl, I Wasn't Allowed to Jump Up at Carnival. Now, I Revel in Its Freedoms – Repeating Islands


Carnival, Crop Over and the West Indian Day Parades of the Caribbean Diaspora have always been sites of release and exuberance. This year, with so many celebrations cancelled or delayed and so many unable to travel and join in, Caribbean and Caribbean American writers reflect on the many meanings and experiences of Carnival.
Carnival. In Trinidad, the celebration is usually held in February, on the days before Ash Wednesday. Three of my siblings and our father were born in November. Count the months. It’s probably all you need to know about my homeland’s two-day festival.
I say two-day, but Carnival in Trinidad begins soon after the presents are put away on Boxing Day, the day after Christmas.

My first February in America was endured. It seemed unnecessarily spiteful that the coldest month in New York coincided with Carnival season back in Trinidad. My gut-wrenching homesickness mocked by deceptively bright freezing days, banks of hardened black snow, and foreign leafless trees.
