Hi Rebecca,

Simone Brown's work at UT Austin explores many of these questions (http://www.utexas.edu/cola/depts/sociology/faculty/sb28889) - though I'm not sure if she has ethnographic data about attitudes towards surveillance broken down by race. There have been a number of Pew Studies exploring public opinion re: privacy and surveillance, but I'm not sure if the cross-tabs of those surveys are broken down by race either - might be a place to start, in any case.

Hope that helps!

Best,

Luke

Hello everyone,

One of my students would like to do a term paper on minority attitudes towards privacy/surveillance, but we are finding very little literature on this (maybe two articles that address the issue directly). His focus is on African Americans and U.S. government surveillance, but I think information on the attitudes of any minority group, in any country, towards any type of surveillance, would be helpful in at least framing the issues. Does anybody know of good resources?

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Best,
Rebecca
