Abstract

Fuentes analyzes lynchings as forms of extralegal justice that arise in contexts of state weakness, impunity, and social fragmentation in Latin America. Drawing on cases from Mexico and other countries, he argues that these acts reflect a long history of incomplete citizenship, persistent communal punitive logics, and deep distrust in institutions. Lynching emerges as a symptom of state crisis, neoliberal precarity, and the breakdown of political mediation, revealing tensions between legal order, community morality, and collective violence.
