[liberationtech] Surveillance in Africa?

[Yosem Companys]

From: Hille Koskela <hille.koskela at utu.fi>

Has anybody done research on surveillance in Africa (South of Sahara)?

I’m on my way to Dar es Salaam for a month and would be grateful of

1. Any reading tips considering surveillance in the former British
colonies and South Africa – this could be your own articles or
anything else you might recommend (my main interest is CCTV &
public/private policing in urban space but others topics are also
relevant)

2. Any signs of interest for future collaboration on this topic – the
long run plan would be to apply funding for an international group of
surveillance scholars

Thanks in advance for your response!
