Guatemalan Vigilantism and the Global (Re)Production of Collective Violence (Routledge Studies in Anthropology)

Gavin Weston

4.9/5 (34603 ratings)

Description:This book grounds an understanding of lynching as an increasingly globalized phenomenon through an examination of two cases in Guatemala.The chapters cover issues of migration, tourism, gangs, inter-generational conflict, media, gossip and rumour to understand national and global patterns of mob-based vigilantism and how diverse factors are funnelled into singular acts of violence. Gavin Weston critically engages with discussion of Guatemalan lynchings as a form of post-conflict violence alongside other less direct chains of causation. Lynchings have complex, tiered causations based in contestations regarding ideas and provision of justice. Underlying social problems and similarities in the way lynchings spread through talk and media make them relatively anticipatable in certain contexts and suggest possible spaces for mitigation against their viral spread.This volume will be relevant to Latin Americanists and those interested in the anthropology and sociology of violence, post-conflict violence and Peace Studies.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
