And what do masked Carnival devils have to do with the slave trade?This isn’t your average travel guide — it’s an immersive journey through a country that refuses to be silenced, whitewashed, or forgotten.Would you recognize resistance if it danced past you in a mask?
Or would you just call it a festival?
