The use of secret police, security agencies and informers to spy
on, disrupt and undermine opposition to the dominant political and
economic order has a long history. This book reflects on the
surveillance, harassment and infiltration that pervades the lives
of activists, organisations and movements that are labelled as
'threats to national security'. Activists and scholars from the UK,
South Africa, Canada, the US, Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand
expose disturbing stories of political policing to question what
lies beneath state surveillance. Problematising the social amnesia
that exists within progressive political networks and supposed
liberal democracies, Activists and the Surveillance State shows
that ultimately, movements can learn from their own repression,
developing a critical and complex understanding of the nature of
states, capital and democracy today that can inform the struggles
of tomorrow.
