<br/><br/> Anyone who wishes to understand the dynamics of Jamaica's local politics and how tribalization has acted to maintain the system of poverty in the ghetto needs to read this study.  No attempt at serious social change can be contemplated, let alone initiated, unless the insights brought to bear in this path-breaking study are fully grasped. It is the first study I have seen which expresses so clearly the character of our urban ghetto's political economy.
