Darryl Li is an anthropologist and attorney, currently Associate Research Scholar at Yale Law School. His work ties together themes of empire, war, race, migration, and law with a transregional perspective on the Middle East.

Darryl's first book project, currently under contract with Stanford University Press, is on transnational jihad groups and their relationship with the international legal order, focusing on Arab "foreign fighters" in the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia-Herzegovina. He is at work on a second project on migrant military labor -- colonial soldiers, mercenaries, contractors, and advisers -- in the greater Indian Ocean over the long twentieth century.

Darryl has also participated in the legal representation of detainees and torture survivors in the "War on Terror." He is licensed to practice law in the state of New York.
