Analyzes current urban governance policies and the spatial politics of resistance embraced by communities under siege in Brazil.

Notes:
322 p, Jamaican Politics is about the left, from the perspective of the left. Combining theory with practical experience, Trevor Munroe records important aspects of Jamaica's political history and at the same time identifies and critically reassesses the assumptions, concepts, and preoccupations of leftist writing.
