This book, first published in 1984, recounts the daily life, the politics, religion and leisure pursuits of Jamaicans in working- and middle-class Kingston. The study is based upon the author’s observations of life in Selton Town and Vermount, two neighborhoods of Kingston, between 1971 and 1982. The author analyses the local social conflicts and ideologies, thereby, demonstrating how larger issues of class domination and cultural hegemony pervade neighbourhood life. The study provides a detailed contextual account of the significance of belonging to different classes. It provides a different perspective of Caribbean anthropology combining the techniques of ethnography and political economy.

In this sequel to Kingston, Jamaica: Urban Development and Social Change, 1692 to 1962 (1975) Colin Clarke investigates the role of class, colour, race, and culture in the changing social stratification and spatial patterning of Kingston, Jamaica since independence in 1962. He also assesses the strains - created by the doubling of the population - on labour and housing markets, which are themselves important ingredients in urban social stratification. Special attention is also given to colour, class, and race segregation, to the formation of the Kingston ghetto, to the role of politics in the creation of zones of violence and drug trading in downtown Kingston, and to the contribution of the arts to the evolution of national culture. A special feature is the inclusion of multiple maps produced and compiled using GIS (geographical information systems). The book concludes with a comparison with the post-colonial urban problems of South Africa and Brazil, and an evalution of the de-colonization of Kingston.

The author draws a parallel between Jamaican understandings of the self, and the late philosophy of Immanuel Kant. The ethnographic material presented here, derived from two years fieldwork in Kingston, suggest that Jamaicans understand themselves as global citizens. This sense of self can be identified across multiple contexts - oral performance, music, kinship and friendship, economics and politics. In light of Jamaican cultural experience, the book argues for a reframing of ethnographic practice as an explicitly cosmopolitan cultural practice."--BOOK JACKET.

Errol "Pinky" Bowen calls the most dangerous ghetto in Kingston home. Surrounded by crime, poverty, and violence, Errol's only escape is the thriving world of reggae. Errol dreams of escaping the shackles of the ghetto and making it in America, but circumstances dictate otherwise. Forced into the drug trade by the ghetto's ruthless Don, Errol can only watch his dreams of music die as he struggles to provide for his family. A chance encounter offers a possible escape, but before he can take it, the Don commits an act of violence that cannot-must not-go unanswered. Before Pinky can start a new life, he needs to abide by the law of the ghetto, even if it means his own death. Darren Hogarth's second novel, Kingston Rock(s) immerses the reader in the social and political ills plaguing much of Jamaican life, all set against the backdrop of reggae's vibrant, ever changing history.
