Brixton, a South London district of small row houses where 70,000 West Indians live, is rapidly deteriorating into the capital's first true ghetto, a backwater of black alienation and crime. Cecil, 18, a slender youth with a black leather cap, leans against the doorway of the Brixton unemployment office on Coldharbour Lane and says, "I wouldn't work in this country.
