Slavery, Surveillance, and Genre in Antebellum United States Literature - Oxford Studies in American Literary History
Ross, Kelly (Associate Professor of English, Associate Professor of English, Rider University)
This book argues for the existence of deep, often unexamined, interconnections between genre and race by tracing how surveillance migrates from the literature of slavery to crime, gothic, and detective fiction, not only through the traditional concept of surveillance (top-down), but also the tactics of sousveillance (watching from below).
