A Tale of Two Lynchings

More about the book

The examination of lynching as a globalized issue is explored through two case studies in Guatemala, highlighting the interplay of migration, tourism, and gang dynamics. Themes of inter-generational conflict, media influence, and the role of gossip and rumor are analyzed to uncover the patterns of mob-based vigilantism. This comprehensive approach reveals how various societal factors converge to instigate acts of violence, providing a deeper understanding of this complex phenomenon.
