Taking the Queen to the Streets: The Jaycees Carnival Queen Competition and the Pretty Mas’ Aesthetic
In this chapter, examines how the Jaycees Carnival Queen competition upheld upper and middle class mores in opposition to a largely black and working class aesthetic, thereby creating a national tradition. By the 1940s, the competition became the focus of the annual festival. It eclipsed the Calypso King competition, the hub of creative, social and political expression for the black masses.
