 Professor Susanna Siegel has published a [piece on mob violence](https://www.lareviewofbooks.org/article/histories-of-violence-mob-violence) as part of *The Los Angeles Review of Books*’ ongoing series, “Histories of Violence,” which is curated by political philosopher Brad Evans as part of his global [Histories of Violence project](https://www.historiesofviolence.com/).

  “Mobs are saturated with emotion. Rage and fury, offense and indignation, fear and terror — these are emotions that can move people to violence. Their intensity in the moment can easily create an illusion of spontaneity — especially when news coverage does not probe and publicize the surrounding situation.”

  Siegel is the Edgar Pierce Professor of Philosophy and the author of the books *The Contents of Visual Experience* (2010) and *The Rationality of Perception* (2017) through Oxford University Press.
