Often considered peculiarly American, lynching in fact takes place
around the world. In the first book of a two-volume study, Michael
J. Pfeifer collects essays that look at lynching and related forms
of collective violence in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
Understanding lynching as a transnational phenomenon rooted in
political and cultural flux, the writers probe important issues
from Indonesia--where a long history of public violence now twines
with the Internet--to South Africa, with its notorious history of
necklacing. Other scholars examine lynching in medieval Nepal, the
epidemic of summary executions in late Qing-era China, the merging
of state-sponsored and local collective violence during the Nanking
Massacre, and the ways public anger and lynching in India relate to
identity, autonomy, and territory. Contributors: Laurens Bakker,
Shaiel Ben-Ephraim, Nandana Dutta, Weiting Guo, Or Honig, Frank
Jacob, Michael J. Pfeifer, Yogesh Raj, and Nicholas Rush Smith.
