In this second volume of the groundbreaking survey, Michael J.
Pfeifer edits a collection of essays that illuminates lynching and
other extrajudicial "rough justice" as a transnational phenomenon
responding to cultural and legal issues. The volume's
European-themed topics explore why three communities of medieval
people turned to mob violence, and the ways exclusion from formal
institutions fueled peasant rough justice in Russia. Essays on
Latin America examine how lynching in the United States influenced
Brazilian debates on race and informal justice, and how shifts in
religious and political power drove lynching in twentieth-century
Mexico. Finally, scholars delve into English Canadians' use of
racist and mob violence to craft identity; the Communist Party's
Depression-era campaign against lynching in the United States; and
the transnational links that helped form--and later emanated
from--Wisconsin's notoriously violent skinhead movement in the late
twentieth century. Contributors: Brent M. S. Campney, Amy Chazkel,
Stephen P. Frank, Dean J. Kotlowski, Michael J. Pfeifer, Gema
Santamaria, Ryan Shaffer, and Hannah Skoda.
