This work investigates the socio-political landscape of Jamaica during the transition toward independence, focusing on the persistence of colonial structures. Katrin Norris examines the intersection of race, class, and economic disparity within the Jamaican social hierarchy. By analyzing the institutional frameworks left behind by British rule, the author argues that systemic inequality remained deeply embedded in the nation's administrative and cultural fabric despite the shift in political sovereignty.
