There are three distinct, traditional views of Carnival. The author, following Caro Baroja, argues that all three are equally valid. «The festival —he writes— was Protean, appealing to different people for different reasons». Besides, it has changed through time and space. When transferred to the New World by Mediterranean immigrants, it was transformed as the result of transculturation; for instance, by incorporating African components that were absent in the Old World. Nonetheless, the development of the festival in the Americas over the past two centuries has followed the same stages of the European Carnival between the l6th and the 19th centuries.
