This is a work of fiction. All characters are the creation of the author; any attempt to relate them to any person or event is purely the doing of the reader. Names of places are used to give realism to the work. THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE is a lively commentary on life in the slums of Kingston, which captures the odd mixture of humor and violence that was part of everyday life. The drama unfolds as a conflict between two ghetto gangs during the early nineteen seventies.
The peculiar imagery of the Kingston slums is cast against a background of violence, religion and politics as the gangs waged war in the city. The violence spun out of control when some politicians exploited it for personal benefit. Counter measures by the authorities proved ineffective in stopping the spread of disorder. The effort of the town's revivalist preacher to shield some of the neighborhood's youth from the carnage that engulfed the city proved mildly successful.
