Reviews
""Proud to Punish offers a brilliant, compelling analysis of contemporary vigilantism and the politics of extrajudicial punishment. The authors offer innovative insights into crimefighting discourses, retributive violence, its public reception, and responses from law enforcement authorities; and vividly illustrate how these factors become implicated in local and global vigilante configurations."" —Atreyee Sen, co-editor of Global Vigilantes: Perspectives on Violence and Justice ""Gilles Favarel-Garrigues and Laurent Gayer lead us on a visceral journey across the globe to understand contemporary vigilantism. With a rare blend of theoretical sophistication and empirical grounding, Proud to Punish asks us to confront the fact that vigilantism is neither a relic of the past, nor a product of failed states, but rather a broadly embraced force of the present."" —Harel Shapira, The University of Texas at Austin ""Proud to Punish is a must-read for all interested in global vigilantism and lynching. Admirably capacious in ranging across space and time, the book offers significant insights on the rough justice impulse in a wide variety of contemporary and historical contexts."" —Michael J. Pfeifer, author of The Roots of Rough Justice: Origins of American Lynching ""This is a useful and in-depth review of vigilante justice around the world. Recommended.""—W. R. Pruitt, CHOICE
