Sinopsis

Surveillance Growth investigates the expansion of surveillance in the United States following the 9/11 attacks, examining its impact on privacy and civil liberties. It analyzes the legal foundations that enabled this growth, such as the Patriot Act, and explores the evolution of surveillance technologies like facial recognition and mass data collection. The book highlights the tension between national security imperatives and the protection of constitutional rights, particularly the Fourth Amendment. One intriguing insight is how the "reasonable expectation of privacy" standard has been challenged by new technologies. The book traces the history of surveillance law and examines the legal and political debates surrounding surveillance. It argues that the post-9/11 expansion has created a surveillance state that poses a threat to constitutional rights. For example, the NSA's mass surveillance programs are dissected, revealing their legal justifications and practical impacts. This book uniquely blends legal analysis with technological understanding and social critique, offering a fresh perspective for students, researchers, policymakers, and concerned citizens. Surveillance Growth begins by establishing the pre-9/11 landscape, then delves into the rapid post-attack expansion of surveillance powers. Subsequent chapters analyze specific surveillance programs and their legal justifications. The book concludes by examining ongoing debates and offering recommendations for reform, providing a comprehensive view of digital surveillance and its legal challenges.

Waite's version of the text has been diligently edited by Jones so that it can be easily digested by modern readers.Jones has also included a foreword introducing the text and diligently footnoted the work to give meaning and context to the original writing.

The Fallacies of Racism -...

Jennifer Patrice Sims

Everyone has an opinion on racism. The vast majority of people would vehemently deny that they or those close to them are "racist," yet many of the most common understandings of racism are highly problematic. "If you mean no harm, then it can't be racist." Yes, it can. "There are anti-discrimination laws now, so racism no longer occurs." Incorrect. "Some of my best friends are Black, so I can't be racist." Not true. 
 
 
  
In this sharp, open-minded, and witty book, sociologist Jennifer Patrice Sims succinctly addresses these problematic perceptions of racism as fallacies. Building on existing academic theories and drawing on her own cross-national research, two decades of teaching, and analyses of contemporary issues, she delves into the most common and insidious fallacies about racism. In revealing them to be rooted in what scholars call an "epistemology of ignorance," she shows how these perceptions justify and uphold white supremacy (inadvertently or otherwise). 
 
 
 
Accessibly written and full of concrete examples, this book will be of great value to anyone who wants to understand the common misunderstandings about racism that frustrate contemporary politics, classrooms, workplaces, and dinner tables.
