Lee Ann Fujii

What explains violent display? Lee Ann Fujii’s project compares three coordinated, collective efforts to stage violence: a massacre of civilian men during the Bosnian war, the lynching of a black man during Jim Crow, and the killing of a prominent family during the Rwandan genocide. The theoretical focus is on mechanisms that are similar across the three sites, while analytic attention is on contextual layers that shaped the local processes through which violence unfolded.
