Rivke Jaffe shows how dons’ power relies on a widespread belief in their right to rule, explaining how criminal power is legitimized through a set of aesthetic, affective, and spatial mechanisms. Jaffe’s analysis offers insights into the entanglement of violent autocratic rule and democratic institutions far beyond Jamaica.
