Details

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yardie (or Yawdie) is a term stemming from the slang name originally given to occupants of government yards in Trenchtown, a neighborhood in West Kingston, Jamaica. Trenchtown was originally built as a housing project following devastation caused by Hurricane Charlie. Each development was built around a central courtyard with communal cooking facilities. Poverty, crime, and gang violence became endemic in the neighbourhood, leading the occupants of Trenchtown to be in part stigmatized by the term "Yardie". In the US, particularly Miami, New York, and surrounding areas, the term "Yardie" or, more commonly, "Yawdie" is used primarily to refer to someone from Jamaica or generally the English-speaking Caribbean. However, the term is expanded to include people all over the world whose relatives (parents, etc.) are of West Indian origin, and people who are of French- or Spanish-speaking Caribbean origin who identify with the people from the English-speaking Caribbean.
