Based on an ethnographic study of an impoverished neighborhood in Port of Spain, the article explores the colonial and neoliberal moralities that perpetuate class segregation in contemporary Trinidad and Tobago. The resulting spatial economy of confinement and enclosure limits the geographical and social mobility of the urban poor. It also regulates their access to public space, thus reducing their opportunities to participate in public debates and to voice political claims. In a fragmented national space, the urban poor remain excluded from negotiations of life and futures in common.
