| Summary |
The word lynching is most likely American in origin, but the practice of lynching, defined by scholars as extralegal group assault and/or murder motivated by social control concerns, can be found in many global cultures and eras. This collection of essays looks at lynching and related varieties of collective violence, such as vigilantism and rioting, across world cultures. Analyzing lynching and collective violence in the Americas and Europe, the chapters highlight both the presence of mob violence in a number of cultures and eras and the particularity of its occurrence in certain cultural and historical contexts. |
