"Activists and the Surveillance State is a wide-ranging exploration of collective organizing in response to state and corporate surveillance. The book's rich discussion of what movements have learned--and failed to learn--about how surveillance works makes it a crucial reference for scholars and activists alike."
--Arun Kundnani, author of The Muslims Are Coming
 

"This important collection draws critical attention to the harms of state surveillance and police power, and how this power has been challenged and resisted by ordinary citizens. It is a must-read for activists, community organisers, and scholars alike."
