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.

"Caribbean cities are a unique yet underexposed phenomenon. Their distinctiveness results from a combination of interrelated factors including a history of slavery, development under the hemispheric hegemony of the United States and spatial limitations imposed by the settings of most Caribbean urban areas." "This innovative volume presents a detailed introduction to the spatial, socio-cultural and economic characteristics of the Caribbean city, followed by case studies of selected cities in the Dutch, Hispanophone, Francophone and Anglophone Caribbean. It discusses a broad range of disciplinary approaches in examining the urban Caribbean, incorporating perspectives from anthropology, sociology, history, political science, geography and literary and cultural criticism."--BOOK JACKET.

Kingston Jamaica: Urban Development and Social Change 1692-2002, presents a cross –sectional approach to the social and economic development of one of the most vibrant cities in the Caribbean. This new edition of Colin Clarke’s path-breaking book extends the examination and analysis of Kingston’s social and economic development from the end of the colonial period, thus making it one of the few studies of any British Caribbean city for the entire colonial period and beyond. Professor Clarke not only reflects on his original field work of forty-five years earlier and evaluates the existing text in relation to changing social theory in the intervening years, but also introduces the reader to the process of decolonization and its implications for urbanization, economic development and social change. Particular attention is given to the development of Portmore and to the incorporation of Spanish Town into the Kingston Metropolitan Region. He also examines the social and spatial structure of Kingston since 1962, focusing on urban decentralization, the development of uptown and downtown and the shift towards greater class entrenchment under the impact of structural adjustment. An outstanding feature of the book is the extensive use of cartography to express both the social and spatial development changing land use; changing land use; changing distribution and density of population; migration; employment; house tenure; the uptown/downtown division and the relationship between class, family structure, religion, education and race/colour are only some of the features that are graphically illustrated and anaylsed with the aid of over 100 maps, 50 photographs and some 40 tables. In its treatment of the social spatial structure over time, Kingston Jamaica: Urban Development and Social Change 1692-2002, is unparalleled among studies of cities in non-advanced capitalist countries.
