With its rich mix of cultures, European influences, colonial tensions, and migration from bordering nations, Ecuador has long drawn the interest of ethnographers, historians, and political scientists. In this book, Jean Muteba Rahier delivers a highly detailed, thoughtprovoking examination of the racial, sexual, and social complexities of AfroEcuadorian culture, as revealed through the annual Festival of the Kings. During the Festival, the people of various villages and towns of EsmeraldasEcuador's province most associated with blacknessengage in celebratory and parodic portrayals, often donning masks, crossdressing, and disguising themselves as blacks, indigenous people, and whites, in an obvious critique of local, provincial, and national white, whitemestizo, and lightmulatto elites. Rahier shows that this festival, as performed in different locations, reveals each time a specific location's perspective on the larger struggles over identity, class, and gender relations in the racialspacial order of Esmeraldas, and of the Ecuadorian nation in general.
