"This book takes a first step toward globalizing the history of
lynching. Covering fourteen countries and five continents, it
demonstrates that lynching has neither been a uniquely American
phenomenon, nor did it exclusively target racial and ethnic
minorities. But what appears to be common to vigilantism and
extralegal punishment around the globe is the ideology of popular
justice, the idea that lynching represents a form of communal
self-defense against crimes that are unchecked by the state. The
multidisciplinary and multiregional approach of this volume will
lay the groundwork for a more thorough understanding of mob
violence and extralegal punishment in the United States and the
world"--
