“Castrating Blackness: Surveillance, Profiling and Management in the Canadian Context” in Spaces of Surveillance—States and Selves, 187-210

Includes an afterword written by Professor Vian Bakir, Bangor University

Offers a unique insight into the ways in which identity has been shaped and defined by changing technology and its resultant effect on bodies. This is the first multidisciplinary account of how surveillance has affected identity

The systematic approach from one area of study to another offers substantial insight into key aspects of surveillance culture in the modern world, engaging with issues of transgression, gender politics, consumer culture and semblance

The edited collection speaks to various interdisciplinary concerns such as linguistics, American Literature, African American Studies, Art, Photography, Cultural Studies and Film Studies

The collection’s textual scope is of particular interest ranging from canonical and non-canonical texts, to popular literature and main stream cinema, and enters into dialogue with each other and other culture and media forms
