This dissertation looks at power, domination, and resistance amongst the urban underclass in Kingston, Jamaica, within the context of postcolonial struggles of state legitimacy and economic competitiveness through increased practices of militarization and exceptional forms of policing. Using data retrieved from archival sources and ethnographic methods, this project investigated how, at the macro level, punitive security policies, specifically reasserts state power as a path for economic development for the most marginalized while simultaneously drawing existing contradictions of Jamaican urban political life into the formal space of urban governance. Given that the military is being used as security infrastructure to regulate urban life, at the micro-level, this project examined the effects of this militarization on residents. I lived in Trench Town for twelve consecutive months, observing residents' everyday movements in highly constrained conditions, focusing on how and where state control manifested, and how households and families adapted and reshaped their urban environments. Using various participatory methods as well as knowledge from my own lived experience in Trench Town, I was able to understand and appreciate the complexities of their everyday urban experiences, increasingly shaped by conditions of extreme violence, militarization, and state surveillance. My research adopts a multidisciplinary approach that draws from theoretical and methodological perspectives from various fields, including environmental justice, critical development studies, postcolonial and urban geography, Black geographical scholarship, and Caribbean studies. Drawing critical inspiration from the histories of social and environmental struggle in multiple compromised environments, attending to practices of Black space making, and experimenting with decolonial qualitative methodologies, this research project challenges dominant ways of knowing by centering local knowledge and experiences. The central novel idea posited in this dissertation is the idea of sensory fatigue, which is the situational cognitive-interpretative as well as affective response to the layered excesses of militarization, poverty, and gang violence.
