About this title

Review:

"Global Lynching and Collective Violence, Volume 2 broadens our perspective on lynching beyond the American South. The essays in the collection are theoretically sophisticated and well documented. This book will be a standard work in the field."--Margaret Vandiver, author of Lethal Punishment: Lynchings and Legal Executions in the South

"This impressive collection greatly contributes to our understanding of lynching, calling attention to its long-neglected global and transnational dimensions. It is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in studying mob violence from an international perspective. ” Simon Wendt, author of The Spirit and the Shotgun: Armed Resistance and the Struggle for Civil Rights
