Description

This Routledge academic work examines lynching as a globalised phenomenon through detailed analysis of two Guatemalan cases, exploring the complex web of factors that drive collective mob violence. The book investigates migration, tourism, gang activity, inter-generational tensions, media influence, gossip and rumour to reveal both national and international patterns of vigilante justice. Author Gavin Weston provides critical analysis of how Guatemalan lynchings function as post-conflict violence, whilst tracing the less direct chains of causation that underpin these acts. The study unpacks the tiered and multifaceted causes of lynching, moving beyond simplistic explanations to demonstrate how diverse social, economic and cultural forces converge into singular violent episodes. Essential reading for anthropologists, sociologists and scholars studying conflict resolution, social unrest and the globalisation of violence.

Key Features

Examines two detailed Guatemalan lynching cases to illustrate broader patterns of globalised vigilante violence and collective mob action.

Explores migration, tourism, gang networks, inter-generational conflict and media's role in shaping vigilantism and violence.

Gavin Weston critically contextualises Guatemalan lynchings within post-conflict frameworks and indirect causation chains.

Published by Routledge in their Studies in Anthropology series, providing academically rigorous analysis for higher education and research.
