Explores the visions of public areas held by political and economic elites and by non-white urban poor in Georgetown, British Guiana. This book demonstrates that the period of study was marked by class and racial tensions as the city's socio-political landscape changed significantly. It shows how these views set the stage for disputes and riots.
