Dr. Douglas Manley, a former member of the Jamaican Cabinet, died at his home in St. Andrew on Friday evening.
Manley, a sociologist, followed his father's footsteps into politics and joined the cabinet of his more famous brother, Michael, who served twice as Prime Minister of Jamaica.
Born in 1922, Douglas was the first son of National Hero Norman Washington Manley and Edna Manley, the famed sculptress, and older brother of Michael Manley.
He served in Parliament for a period during the 1970s before returning to represent his old constituency, South Manchester, in 1989. During that second parliamentary stint he also served in the Cabinet as Minister of Youth & Community Development.
Douglas Manley retired from active politics in 1993. He briefly returned to the spotlight a few years ago with the publication of a novel - "The Candidate".
