N1  - Originally published 1986; Includes bibliographical references (pages 106-107)
N2  - 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
