Biography

Darryl Li is an anthropologist and legal scholar at the University of Chicago, focusing on issues surrounding war, law, migration, and the dynamics of empire and racialization, particularly within the contexts of the Middle East, South Asia, and the Balkans. He authored the book 'Universal Enemy: Jihad, Empire, and the Challenge of Solidarity' published by Stanford University Press in 2020, which analyzes the phenomenon of 'jihadist foreign fighters' during the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia-Herzegovina. His work integrates ethnographic methods and archival research to contribute to comparative studies within universalism, earning him the William Douglass prize from the Society for Anthropology in Europe.
