by Anouk Madörin (Author)
Postcolonial Surveillance investigates the long history of the European border regime, focusing on the colonial forerunners of today's border technologies. The book takes a longue durée perspective to uncover how Europe's colonial history continues to shape the high-tech political present and has morphed into EU border migration policies, border security, and surveillance apparatuses. It exposes the racial hierarchies and power relations that form these systems and highlights key moments when the past and present interact and collide, such as in panoptic surveillance, biopolitical registers, biometric sorting, and deterrent media infrastructure. The technological genealogies assembled in this book reveal the unacknowledged histories that had to be rejected for the seemingly clean, unbiased, and neutral technologies to emerge as such.
