Biometric State: The Global Politics of Identification and Surveillance in South Africa, 1850 to the Present
Breckenridge, Keith (University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg)
Biometric identification and registration systems are being proposed by governments and businesses across the world. The book explores how, for a century, South Africa has served as a site for global experiments in biometric identification and government, and examines the consequences and effects of these systems for democracy and authoritarianism.
