Description
Dark Matters On the Surveillance of Blackness by Simone Browne explores how surveillance is practiced and resisted in relation to blackness. By examining historical and contemporary practices, including those related to slavery and policing, Browne reveals how surveillance technologies and methods reinforce racial boundaries and borders. The book draws on a range of disciplines, including sociology, cultural studies, and black feminist theory, to analyze the ways in which surveillance shapes our understanding of black life. From the design of slave ships to post-9/11 airport security practices, Browne shows how surveillance is both a discursive and material practice that reifies boundaries around racial lines. This study offers a critical perspective on the social and political significance of surveillance, particularly in relation to blackness.
