London Jamaican provides the reader with a new perspective on African descent in London. Based on research carried out in the early 1980s, the author examines the linguistic background of the community, with special emphasis on young people of the first and second British-born generations.
"Clearly written and presupposing little background knowledge...a comprehensive, yet data-orientated and in-depth analysis of the sociolinguistic status of London Jamaican and its speakers."
Language, Culture and Curriculum
"...an important addition to the literature on the use of Caribbean Creole in the UK."
