This book grounds an understanding of lynching as an increasingly
globalised phenomenon through an examination of two cases in
Guatemala. The chapters cover issues of migration, tourism, gangs,
inter-generational conflict, media, gossip, and rumour to
understand national and global patterns of mob-based vigilantism
and how diverse factors are funnelled into singular acts of
violence. Gavin Weston critically engages with the discussion of
Guatemalan lynchings as a form of post-conflict violence alongside
other less direct chains of causation. Lynchings have complex,
tiered causations based in contestations regarding ideas and
provision of justice. Underlying social problems and similarities
in the way lynchings spread through talk and media make them
relatively anticipatable in certain contexts and suggest possible
spaces for mitigation against their viral spread. This volume will
be relevant to Latin Americanists and those interested in the
anthropology and sociology of violence, post-conflict violence, and
peace studies.
