Limited legal protections for privacy leave minority communities
vulnerable to concrete injuries and violence when their information is
exposed. In Privacy at the Margins, Scott Skinner-Thompson highlights
why privacy is of acute importance for marginalized groups. He
explains how privacy can serve as a form of expressive resistance to
government and corporate surveillance regimes - furthering equality
goals - and demonstrates why efforts undertaken by vulnerable groups
(queer folks, women, and racial and religious minorities) to protect
their privacy should be entitled to constitutional protection under
the First Amendment and related equality provisions. By examining the
ways even limited privacy can enrich and enhance our lives at the
margins in material ways, this work shows how privacy can be
transformed from a liberal affectation to a legal tool of liberation
from oppression.
