Reviews

The Social Life of Biometrics is an absolutely indispensable guide to understanding the construction of political identity--whose bodies belong and whose bodies are to be prohibited and disavowed-- in an era marked by mean-spirited, panic anxiety over security, national borders and the restless migration of nomadic populations. --Arthur Kroker author of Body Drift and Exits to the Posthuman Future
