Description
"Blood, bullets and bodies is Imani Tafare-Ama's quick catch-all way of describing the rapidly deteriorating situation on the streets of Kingston's inner-cities, a crisis situation spawned by the entrenched political economy of violence, power, gender and embodiment that is running amok in the concrete jungles of the Jamaican capital. This case study focuses on Southside, one of the inner-city communities in Kingston. Ms. Tafari-Ama's objective is to analyse this post-plantation island state's political economy, which has produced the unfortunate combination of poverty and violence in the urban areas."--page 4 of cover.
