We Like to Watch: Race and the Sociology of Surveillance (Framing 21st Century Social Issues)

By Simone Browne

We Like to Watch gets its title from a Time magazine cover story on reality television and Americans' "passion for peeping." This book takes sociological theories of race and applies them to the study of surveillance in a style and format that can be easily adopted as a required text for undergraduate courses on Surveillance, New Media, Cultural Studies, Race and Ethnicity, American Studies, and Women and Gender Studies. Topics explored in this book include: reality television, CCTV and social media.
