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.
