Yardie
Yardie (or Yawdie) is a term derived from the Jamaican patois for home or "yard". Persons of Jamaican origin thus came to be known as Yardies, particularly within the Caribbean expatriate community outside of Jamaica. == United Kingdom == During the 1950s, the British Government encouraged immigration to the country to fill existing job vacancies. Within the Caribbean community, new arrivals from Jamaica were sometimes referred to as "Yardies" due to reference of Jamaica as "back a yard". A large influx of inner city Jamaican immigration to Britain during the 1980s led to the rise of gang violence or behaviour on the part of Jamaicans which became known in wider British society as "Yardie culture" and the participants "Yardies". The terms "Yardie gang" or "Yardie gun violence" were largely used by the British media to describe violent crimes in London's black community. The gangs in London are specifically known to have occupied and operated in their infamous grounds of Brixton, Harlesden, and Notting Hill. Jamaican-born British writer Victor Headley wrote a bestselling 1992 novel entitled ''Yardie''.
