Decolonizing the colonial city: urbanization and stratification in Kingston, Jamaica

摘要

Colin Clarke has succeeded in providing a comprehensive analysis of Kingston's social and cultural transformations from colonization, through independence, to the post-colonial period. The wealth of empirical knowledge in this longitudinal study is derived from census data for 10 per cent of the households for Kingston in 1960 and 1991, and enumeration district data for the city in 1943, 1960, 1982 and 1991.
