"In her book 'Dark Matters', for example, sociologist Simone Browne examines how surveillance technologies coproduce notions of blackness, explaining that "surveillance is nothing new to black folks"; from slave ships and slave patrols to airport security checkpoints and stop-and-frisk policing practices, she points to the "facticity of surveillance in black life".
