"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 history
of vigilante necklacing. Other scholars examine lynching in medieval Nepal, the epidemic
of summary executions in late Qing-era China, state-sponsored 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."--Page 4 of cover
