Breckenridge, Keith (University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg)
Biometric identification and registration systems are being proposed by governments and businesses across the world. The book explores how, for a century, South Africa has served as a site for global experiments in biometric identification and government, and examines the consequences and effects of these systems for democracy and authoritarianism.
