Urban Life in Kingston Jamaica : The Culture and Class Ideology of Two Neighborhoods Paperback / softback
by Diane Austin-Broos
Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Urban Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
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.
