and Prejudice: A Study of Belief in the Black Community
This was originally published by Harper and Row in 1967, and as a Harper Torchbook in 1969 with a postscript summarizing results of 15 later studies and a comment on the relationship between social movements and mass opinion. Bayard Rustin, the major strategist of the civil rights movement, wrote the foreword. The book is currently available from Greenwood Press. |

| 2. The New Surveillance | ||||
| a) "Windows into the Soul:" A conference | ||||
| Many of the new surveillance topics in this section were treated at a conference entitled "Windows into the Soul: Surveillance and Society in an Age of High Technology," held as part of the Hixon-Riggs Forum on Science, Technology and Society. The conference took place at Harvey Mudd College, in Claremont, CA, on March 27-29, 2008. The conference program and participant biographies can be found at http://www.hmc.edu/newsandevents/hixon08.html. For an introduction to the conference and abstracts, go to http://web.mit.edu/gtmarx/www/witsabstracts.html. | ||||
| The thirty participants are centrally involved in helping to
define the emerging field of surveillance studies, described by Peter
Monaghan in "Watching the Watchers."
The Chronicle of Higher Education, March 17, 2006. |
A number of the conferees served on, or advised, the Committee
on Privacy in the Information Age for the National Academy of Sciences and
contributed to writing its report, Engaging Privacy and Information Technology in a Digital
Age.
The National Academies Press, 2007. |
