Kingston: A Cultural and Literary Companion (Cities of the Imagination) [Idioma Inglés]: A Cultural and Literary History - Softcover

Drawing on his own experiences of living and working in the Caribbean, Howard (human geography, U. of Edinburgh) provides an insider's guide for travelers to Jamaica's capital city. Following an historical overview of Kingston, individual chapters cover specific sections of the city, its heroines and heroes, Kingstonian music, the art scene, and other nearby communities and destinations. The guide is primarily text, illustrated with two maps of the city and some 20 b&w drawings. Includes both an index of literary and historical names, and an index of places and landmarks.
