Modern surveillance is structured by anti-Blackness

Evidence

Browne offers a Black studies genealogy of surveillance, tracing its operation from the Book of Negroes through lantern laws to airport biometrics. She develops “racializing surveillance” as a foundational analytic showing that surveillance’s modern form is structured by anti-Blackness. The book reframes Foucauldian panoptic analysis by centering Black diasporic experience. — , The Braided Reading EPUB, 2569
