"<i>Feminist Surveillance Studies</i> provides a much-needed set of feminist interventions into the study of surveillance. The essays offer critically important insights into the gendered dimensions of state surveillance, vividly outline the structural inequalities designed into surveillance regimes, and provide a wealth of avenues for future research." - Kelly A. Gates author of (Our Biometric Future: Facial Recognition Technology and the Culture of Surveillance) "Remarkably intercommunicative and interdisciplinary, these essays are an important intervention in the burgeoning field of surveillance studies... <i>Feminist Surveillance Studies</i> is an overture that conceptualizes surveillance within an aesthetics of domination, a luxurious and galvanizing text to be deeply engaged and widely taught." - Stephanie Amon (Afterimage) "<i>Feminist Surveillance Studies</i> offers an important intervention in surveillance studies scholarship, one that is sure to shape the discipline moving forward. It is a must-read for teachers and scholars in this area, but the diverse array of case studies makes this book relevant for updating material in an array of media studies classrooms." - Dana Schowalter (Feminist Media Studies) "[A] necessary and important collection. . . . Rather than mark off a corner of scholarship as definitively feminist and definitively surveillance, <i>Feminist Surveillance Studies</i> asks us to rethink both, in service of more nuanced, just, and progressive critical frameworks." - Andrea Braithwaite (New Media & Society) "It is testament to the structural intra-disciplinarity of <i>Feminist Surveillance Studies</i> that the subject categories this book is labelled with-Gender Studies, Surveillance Studies, Cultural Studies-don’t cover the half of it. These framing points are enriched by the various socio-historical contingencies presented throughout. The multiple critical connections are precisely what is so vital about the book, and a reason I would include chapters from this book on reading lists for a general new media studies course, or contemporary literary studies and visual culture courses." - Zara Dinnen (New Formations) "On their own, and as a collection, the essays in <i>Feminist Surveillance Studies</i> offer an impressive array of empirically rich, theoretically engaged and critically-oriented contributions that should reshape the ways we do surveillance studies. Dubrofsky and Magnet are right to claim that their book will launch a new field of engagement. <i>Feminist Surveillance Studies</i> is a must-read for feminist and surveillance scholars alike." - Amanda Glasbeek (Theoretical Criminology)
