Dignifying Carnival: The Politics of Heritage Recognition in Puebla, Mexico
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 May 2006
Abstract
This article problematizes the process of heritage declaration using ethnographic research on the working class carnival produced each year in the historic city center of Puebla, México. The author explores the ways in which the intersection of cultural and political practice in this case has not only called into question the authenticity of certain aspects of this local tradition, but have instead converted them into points of contention among carnival producers.
