Reviews

"" Making Surveillance States is a new and exciting take on the history of surveillance that will prove to be a valuable addition to the scholarship."" --William Staples, Department of Sociology, Director, Surveillance Studies Research Center, University of Kansas, Lawrence ""An invaluable book combining histories of the micro-practices of administrative control with the broad sweep of imperial politics in parts of the world long neglected by historiographies of surveillance and state building."" --Keith Breckenridge, The Wits Institute for Social and Economic Research, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg ""Making Surveillance States sets a high bar for future work in surveillance history. Providing a sorely needed transnational perspective, the authors show just how essential surveillance was to the development of the medical, judicial, and political systems we have today. This book is especially urgent in this politically explosive moment, as we try to grapple with what the future holds in store for 'surveillance states' around the globe."" --Joshua Reeves, New Media Communications, Oregon State University
