"This is a rich and fascinating book, which has been edited into an impressively coherent whole. Global Vigilantes comprises a vivid and original collection of chapters on the phenomenon of vigilantism and popular justice. The chapters are clearly and crisply written and address a strong core of central theoretical issues which raise deeply troubling questions about justice and morality in a globalizing world. The editors are to be congratulated on the appearance of this brilliantly provocative collection." — Jonathan Spencer, professor of the anthropology of South Asia, University of Edinburgh
