This book grounds an understanding of lynching as an increasingly globalized phenomenon through examination of two cases in Guatemala. The chapters cover migration, tourism, gangs, inter-generational conflict, media, gossip and rumour to understand patterns of mob-based vigilantism and how diverse factors are funnelled into acts of violence.
