Dada: Assessing
the Socio-economic and Political Power of Jamaica's Mafia Bosses, Damion Blake takes on a
controversial subject: the Jamaican don. The Jamaican don is a non-state actor,
a male figure, usually from the community in which he plays a leadership role,
and who wields considerable power and control inside that nation's garrison
communities. Garrisons in Jamaica are poor inner city communities characterized
by homogeneous voting patterns for one of Jamaica's two major political
parties: the People's National Party and the Jamaica Labour Party. With revelatory insight, Don Dada explores the
major roles dons play in their communities and how the activities of these
non-state criminal actors have influenced the governance process. Focussing on communities
in the downtown metropolitan area of Kingston, the capital city, the book
investigates the evolution of the don from the 1960s to the present and their
roles of security/protection, social welfare, partisan mobilization, and law
and order. Blake contends that dons have
emerged as embedded governing authorities in Jamaican garrisons based on the
socio-economic and political roles they carry out and puts forward a
peace-building model to dissolve the power of dons and their gangs in Jamaica's
marginal communities.
