Jamaican dons see themselves as leaders, protectors, and nearly
God-like figures. They see themselves as bigger than even the Prime
Minister; with the resources they have, they are not afraid of
anyone. In "The Making of a Jamaican Don," author Clifton Cameron
tells the story of these Jamaican dons-their history, and the role
they play in the governing of the Caribbean country.
This story is told through the eyes of Spanner and Trinity, two
youths from rural Jamaica who leave their homes in Kitson Town and
travel to Kingston for a better life. But here, their lives change
in ways they could not have imagined. They find themselves
embroiled in politics and the world of donship, eventually spending
time in Jamaica's notorious General Penitentiary Prison.
A true account of tragedy and death, "The Making of a Jamaican
Don" highlights the links between dons, guns, drugs, police,
politicians, public officials, and corruption.
