Jaffe's excellent study provides a refreshing and meticulously derived new perspective on urban Caribbean environments, combining a comprehensive historical and ethnographic narrative of the context of people, places, and politics in the region. Insights offered on everyday livelihoods within lowincome urban neighborhoods in Curacao and Jamaica, and the contradictory urban naturalisms found across both societies, present readers with a striking comparative understanding of Caribbean cities and contribute a much welcomed further assessment of urban anthropological and naturesociety relations in the urban South. -- Dan Howard , New West Indian Guide
